Unfortunately the red and white were unable to achieve their season ending goal, as the Pride managed a 1-0 conference victory.

In what should have been a 1-1 game in the later part of the second half was called back by a very late an inaccurate call by the sideline official. For a majority of Saturday's match the Pride maintained their 1-0 lead.

Hamed led the match with four saves to pick up the victory.
