Souderton and Quakertown battled to their second tie this season, this time at Souderton's home field for the Indian's senior night. Despite putting together a strong performance for their senior class, the Indians couldn't find the finishing touch to close out their regular season with a win. Nonetheless the players put up a performance they could be proud of. Two Souderton seniors logged their first minutes of the season; Rachel Croll and Brianna King took the tap for the Indians, after missing out on their senior seasons due to injuries in years prior.

Lifted by the energy of the occasion, the Indians put up a strong first half with composed possession and consistent pressure against Quakertown's strong defense and goalkeeping. With 21 minutes left in the half, Hannah Alderfer let the first real warning shot go as she hit the crossbar with power from distance. Shortly after, Taylor Yoder let loose a shot of her own that was saved well by Quakertown's goalkeeper. Souderton continued to generate chances, as Averie Doughty struck the crossbar again, and Avery Nogmai's follow-up header was saved off the goal line. After the first 40 minutes, Quakertown's defense held strong to keep it locked at 0-0 despite being out-shot 10-2.

Souderton continued to keep the pressure on in the second half, but Quakertown didn't shy away from the challenge. Yoder and Doughty both had quality chances that just missed the target, and Alderfer had a great header off a corner that was blocked by Quakertown's defense. In the end, Quakertown held on to force overtime.

With the wind at their back, Quakertown came out strong in the first overtime period and was able to flip the script on Souderton. Their greatest opportunity came from a ball over the top in behind Souderton's defense. Souderton keeper Morgan Molyneaux came up huge with a 1v1 save to keep the Indians from heartbreak. With the wind at the back, Souderton was able to get back to creating chances, but in the end were forced to settle for a draw.
