The next day, The Ironheart Knights play against San Francisco State University, while watching the game from the dugouts Nora is disappointed that Ramona literally called her out during the USC hockey game.

"To be fair, I thought you were joking around with that." said Ramona, as she tells Nora, "But, after I saw your reaction, I realized that you weren't."

Before Ramona could apologize to Nora, Ramona is subbed into the field replacing Zenni.

"Will talk about this later, and settle our differences." said Ramona, as she took off her warm up jersey, and left to the side of the field.

Brynn looks at Nora while telling her not to worry.

Nora nods as she and Brynn watch their teammates play.

Meanwhile on the field...

Clara admits to Ramona that Nora is disappointed in what she did to her.

"Yeah, I know, but I really didn't mean it. And thought that she might've taken it as a joke." admitted Ramona

"Yeah, it seemed like that, but apparently not." said Clara, as she looked at the other girls. "Anyways, we better get ready."

The girls positioned themselves for a penalty kick against San Francisco State University, after one of their players side tackled Addison.

The Ironheart Knights have been having trouble scoring since the San Francisco State University players were playing really defensive lately.

Meanwhile on the baseball bleachers, Leah was yelling at the ref who was far away from them after seeing an unfair.

"Hey Ref what was that?! That was a foul!" yelled Leah, as Tobin yanks her from the bottom of her shirt, and right back down into her seat.

As for Gael, who was also looking at the ref, stood up from his seat as he also started to yell at the ref.

"Hey Ref! Call something will ya! That San Francisco State University player literally just pants my sister on the field!!! I know she has undershorts! But come on!" said Gael, as Tobin later looks at Gael, and pulls him down in his seat as well. "Can you believe this guy?!"

Both Gael and Leah are disappointed at the ref for not calling out any fouls on San Francisco State University, even though they do deserve it.

"Man, you two sure make a happy couple," said Tobin, as she, Gael and Leah, continued to watch the game.

After a few more minutes... Maire gets slide tackled again.

"UGHHH! REF!" called out Gael, Leah, Tobin, and the rest of the crowd as they groaned in disappointment on their side of the bleachers in sync.

"Don't worry Gael, your sister has taken worse hits than this." said a family friend of Hernandez.

"Yeah, I know. But, this ref isn't making it any better." said Gael, as he put his hands on his face and started to stretch his face.

Leah then starts to pat on Gael's back.

"Don't worry, I'm sure they'll do just fine." said Leah, as she stopped patting Gael's back.

Meanwhile on the field, Maire ties the laces of her shorts tight, while walking to the sideline looking at Coach Mica who was giving her advice.

"Okay, Maire, here's what you do next." said Coach Mica, as she started to whisper something in Maire's ear.

Just then, a player from San Francisco State University, looked at Maire, and sneered.

Coach Abby sees this and waits for the player's response, knowing that the player might pull out something.

"Okay, got it?" asked Coach Mica, as she finished whispering to Maire.

"Got it." said Maire, with a nod.

Maire is later taunted by some of the players from San Francisco State University, after being pantsed by one of their players.

Gael heard this from the stands and stood up from his seat.

"Hey, knock it off with that!" said Gael, as he was trying to defend his sister. "Don't make me come over there!"

"Make that two of us!" said Leah, as she stood up from her seat as well.

"Actually, three!" said Tobin, as she also stood up from her seat.

"Hey guys, I know you're trying to make a good point here, but... can the three of you please sit down!" said a fan who was sitting behind them in the stands.

"Oops, sorry," said Gael, Leah, and Tobin, as they sat down in their seats.

Meanwhile in the dugouts, Coach Abby gives the signal to Coach Mica, who later gives the signal to Maire.

While running back on the field where the rest of the girls are, Maire takes the ball away from a San Francisco State University player, and passes the ball to Alaia who takes it.

"Uh oh." said Nora, in the dugouts.

"Man, I really hate to be them right now." said Brynn, as she shook her head.

"Ooh, game on!" said Nora, as she turned around her baseball cap in excitement as she and the girls gathered out of the dugout.

On the field...

The rest of the Ironheart Knights players move out of the way in separate ways after seeing that Alaia had the ball, while the San Francisco State University players looked confused.

"Where are they going?" asked a player

"Not sure?" asked another player, who was next to that player.

"You mess with the bull! And you get the horns!" Shouted Nora, from the dugouts. "Ay, va!"

Alaia from her team's goal area kicks the ball all the way across the field, causing each player from San Francisco State University to dodge the fast soccer ball that was coming towards them.

Even the goalie from San Francisco State University dodged the soccer ball, making the ball go straight to the goal.

The ball hits the net, after going through one of the holes, causing the ball to hit the fence that was closer to the bleacher that Gael, Leah, and Tobin were sitting on, making them and the rest of the crowd flinch.

"Yikes!" said Tobin, as she fell from her seat, after thinking that the ball was coming right at her.

"Woah," said Leah, in amazement.

"That was awesome!" shouted Tobin, before struggling to get up. "Uh, could someone please help me? I'm stuck..."

Moments later...

The game ends with Alaia scoring the winning goal. The Ironheart Knights beat San Francisco State University 1 - 0 as the game ended.

As the players were saying "good game to each other", the player who started to taunt Maire, apologized for her rude behavior.

"Hey, it's okay, the game got the best of you." said Maire, as she accepted the player's apology. "I understand, It happens sometimes."

"Yeah, thanks." said the player, as she and Maire shook hands.
