LUSC Premier advanced to the round of 16 of the Ohio South State Cup with a tough 1-0 win over STAR Tigers. The only goal of the game came when Claire Webb cut inside from the left wing and found the overlapping Kristyn Hatke. Hatke beat two Tiger defenders before sending in the perfect cross for Mo Combs to convert from close range. Moments later the Tigers almost tied the game on a free kick which goalkeeper Amy Dean did well to turn onto her goalpost. Although LUP had a clear advantage in terms of possession they struggled with the last pass and could not create any other clear goal scoring opportunities. In the final 5 minutes the Tigers had two opportunities on break aways to take the game into extra time, but each time the Tigers forward could not convert the one on one situation with Amy Dean.
LUP faced Beavercreek Celtic Premier in the round of 16. After trailing at half time, two Rachel Gary goals gave LUP a 2-1 lead in the second half. However, the short bench hurt LUP as the girls tired and Beavercreek equalized and then missed a penalty kick which should have won the game as regulation time ended. After a scoreless over time the teams went into a penalty kick shoot out. Unfortunately, only Lauren Hoover and Amy Dean converted their spot kicks and LUP were eliminated 3-2 in the shoot out.
