Limestone hit Galesburg with a three-pronged attack, as the team got scores from
Khloe Stear (2),
Gracie Sims, and
Bella Sims.
Meanwhile, Canton's last match on Thursday was all defense as neither team scored a goal. They and Monmouth-Roseville finished up on equal footing with a 0-0 draw. The result (or lack thereof) was the first time Canton has been dealt a draw since back in March.

Everything went Limestone's way against Canton in their previous matchup back in April of 2023 as Limestone made off with a 5-0 victory.
