History did not repeat itself, and with the (1-0) win Dearborn again took home the District Championship. The girls were now on their way to regionals where they would play, Canton. The team was ready to play, with a tie of (0-0) ending the first half, it looked like a pretty well matched game. Then Junior Lauren Imsande booted one in to make the score (1-0). The score lasted about 40 minutes, until one of Canton's seniors placed one in the back of the net with 2 minutes left in the game. It wasn't long until Dearborn got their heads down and Canton managed to score another goal with 30 seconds left.
