The breakthrough came in the eight minute when Ottawa’s Aria Winter passed through the defense to an open Abigail White who scored from the top of the box with a wonderful strike.

Woodbridge tied things up in the 34th minute when they capitalized on a key turnover that lead to a fast break goal - putting a great end to the first half with Ottawa South United having six shots total, with four on target. Meanwhile Woodbridge Strikers shot a total of five shots with one being on target.

In the action packed second half, both teams displayed tremendous efforts playing strong offensively and even stronger defensively which is a testament to their efforts throughout the season.

Things were once again neck-and-neck in the shootout with both teams going a perfect three-for-three to start, but OSU goalkeeper Taylor Raistrick made a huge save on the last Woodbridge kicker to bringing home the OPDL Cup.
