In the other Division A game, Kanoa-2 forced a draw against Paire, 7-7.

Krizel Tuazon drilled three goals in that period and finished with four, as she also recorded Kanoa-2’s only goal in the first half. Ruschell Anna Valino registered a brace, while Therize Millare posted the other goal for Kanoa-2 in the second half.

Guine Borja had a pair of goals for Paire in the first half and their team was credited with an own goal for a 3-1 halftime lead. Borja added one in the second half, while Jerlyn Castillo tallied two, and Brittany Wally had one.

Paire finished the season at second place with its 4-1-3 slate, while Kanoa-2 was ranked third after logging 3-2-3 card. Kanoa-2 wrapped up its campaign a week earlier and ruled Division A after earning a 7-1-0 mark.
