In the second half Valley played a more organized game and put together more chances on goal. Osbourn scored first, however, when a cross was played into the penalty area and deflected off a Valley player into the goal. The goal gave Osbourn renewed confidence and put them on the attack. Only minutes later Valley scored on a counter attack with freshman midfielder Anthony Flores assisting on a goal by senior forward Kevin Esoda. Moments after the equalizer, junior midfielder Gabe Miranda beat two defenders on the dribble to penetrate into Osbourn territory and find a running junior forward Richard Meyer who finished for the winning goal.

The Skinny: The Falcon underclassmen seize the day in this non-district match as BWoods took the field without three of their starters. Handley seemed ready to avenge an earlier loss in the season as they created some early chances in the first half. After some good opportunities and a powerful goal from Shell Davis called back for the Falcons, Caroline Magnotti offered a clean feed to breaking freshman Davis for a goal late in the first half. The second half started differently with a deep booming goal from midfielder Alexis Jensen. Co-Captain Morgan McCarthy was taken down in the box as she fought her way along the end line to create a PK goal from sophomore Magnotti who froze Handley's keeper where she stood. McCarthy added an assist and Davis scored her second soon after. Handley offered a surprise goal to the mix which seemed to energize Davis who had a number of nice runs before beating Handley's defenders and a charging keeper to slam home her third goal of the game. Briar Woods pummeled Handley's feisty keeper with 31 total shots on goal.
