The second half would be much of the same as the Vulcans out-shot the Huskies 15-1.  However, Bloomsburg made good on their lone shot of the half as Jamie Vaniver (Holland/Council Rock South) tallied her third goal of the season in the 81st minute.  Senior Natalie Adams (Wilkes-Barre/Holy Redeemer) was credited with the assist.

Bloomsburg goalie Frances Nicoletti (Haddonfield, NJ/Haddonfield) made seven saves in 90 minutes of action while her counterpart Paula Jackson made one.  With the win California advances to the PSAC semifinals.
