Neither team had many real chances to punch in a goal and break the scoreless deadlock, though Griffinette standout Antonia Maggi lost several opportunities on offsides calls.
The Jaguarinas received the extra point awarded in the standings for winning the postgame penalty shot shootout that League rules call for in the case of ties. The won the shootout 1-0 on the strength of Megumi Kamiya’s lone tally.
The tie perhaps had the greatest effect on the team that wasn't there -- Christian Learning. The Little Eagles, who were idle Tuesday, now have a two-point lead in the standings, meaning they could win first place in the regular season by tying Cooperative in the final game next week. Cooperative would have to win outright to claim victory in the regular season.
