  Trailing 1-0 at half, the Lady Mavs came out a little bit more composed as Rachel Brantley would dribble a defender forcing her to foul in the box, creating a penalty kick.

NOC 1, NEO 1 (NOC Penalty kicks 3-0)

  Saturdays win was not without drama as sophomore keeper Monica Davis saved the Lady Mavs after 90 minutes and two overtimes.

  Gifty Ayew Asare scored the lone NOC goal in regulation with NEO tying the score at 1-1 forcing overtime.

   "We didn't think that we were going to penalty kicks because we were the better team," said coach Juan Castillo.   "We attacked, played the entire game on their half but this is soccer and we have to put shots in the back of the net. Although when we knew we were going to penalty kicks we were extremely confident in Monica (Davis) in that capacity. This is a girl that stopped a penalty kick against Mexico's National team." 

   Davis blocked NEO's first penalty kick, then Morgan Medina converted for the Lady Mavs, Monica Davis would see the ball go out of sight when NEO's player kicked out of the goal frame on the second shot.

   NOC captain Kariss Dunson would make the game more interesting by hitting the crossbar and but Davis would again block NEO's next shot. 

   Kayla Mireles would score for NOC and finally once again Davis blocked NEO's final shot to give the Lady Mavs the win and a berth in the finals.

  The NOC men fell to NEO Saturday 2-0.  The loss ended the Mavs season at 12-5-1.
