Later in the day, the FC faced San Diego Miramar and battled it out for a 13-9 win. The Hornet's early 7-goal first quarter gave them the cushion they needed to cool the Jets. Spear netted 4 goals, Isabella Castaneda scored 2 goals, and Fernandez and Alissa Jacobs each tallied 2 goals. Bertsch was sharp in the cage again with 17 saves to secure the win.
The momentum carried into Saturday at Southwestern College's mini-tournament. In the morning match, the Hornets controlled Ventura from start to finish in a 13-3 win. Dunning poured in 5 goals. Castaneda then followed with 4 of her own, and Spear added 2 more. Shayla Summers also scored twice, while Bertsch turned away 7 shots to keep the Pirates at bay.

Dunning continued her hot streak with 4 goals, Castaneda, Spear, and Allison Kaminski each added a goal and Bertsch closed the door defensively with 7 saves to earn her first shutout victory of the season.
With the consecutive four victories, the Hornets now sit at 7-3 on the season and have established themselves as one of the most balanced teams in Southern California combining high-powered scoring from Dunning and Spear with Bertsch's steady goalkeeping.
