Ft. Dorchester alum Connor Bauknight was named the MVP for the South team. He earned an assist on Gray's goal.

Irmo's Abby Frick started the scoring in the 63rd minute when she lifted a shot from 40 yards away that took goalie Sarah Padgett of Lexington off guard. Padgett had come far out of the net and couldn't recover in time giving the North a 1-0 lead. 

Just 7 minutes later, the South would get the equalizer as Brookland-Cayce's Sarah Laney put a header past Ellen Bright off a corner kick to tie things up at 1-1. 

The North had a late opportunity but a shot deflected off Padgett's hand, then off the post and right back to Padgett to ensure the tie.
