The third quarter saw Central kick three unanswered goals from Isabella Riggs, Tara Lord, and Meek, as the Doggies looked to solidify their spot in the top two.

However, the game wasn’t over yet, with Westies seemingly mounting a comeback in the fourth quarter with goals from Mercy Walsh, Madisan Nelson, and Lily Nelson, but it was Lord who steadied the ship for Central late in the last term with her second major.
