Teria, in her first season playing at the top women’s level, finished with the highest number of goals scored in the regular season.

Skyylerblu Johnson scored the match’s first goal in the second minute of play connecting on a corner kick from Colleen Naden before Quality’s Franshay Shippey leveled the match about seven minutes later. After controlling a throw-in, Shippey dribbled the ball to the corner edge of the penalty box on the left side for a shot to the opposite post out of Lady Crushers keeper Aeryn Anulao’s reach.

Naden later scored in the 13 th minute chipping the ball over Quality keeper Chyna Ramirez off a pass from Perez to put her team up 2-1 for close to 30 minutes.

Nearing the end of the first half, Quality’s Jalana Garcia managed to outrun the Lady Crushers defense on a ball from Hopemary Calip and maneuver around Anulao in the box for the score.

After the match, Ambros Marketing Manager Jojo Camacho presented the league’s champions trophy to Carla Haddock and the Lady Crushers team and also presented the league’s runner-up trophy to Quality Distributors President George Lai and the Quality team.
