team getting a penalty shot opportunity.

Anis Jamaludin put the first shot wide for AMG-Mercedes while Hublot’s Melissa Hornung

connected for a goal. Costanza Marchiorello’s second shot also went wide for a second AMGMercedes

miss. In a winner-take-all attempt, Hublot’s Tara Lordi connected for the tie-breaking

goal and a well-deserved Hublot Championship 5-4 win. Lordi was named MVP for her efforts.

In Bracket I play, The Raleigh Hotel (Stephanie Kraml-Suttle, Libby Scripps and Valerie
