With all four top seeds making it out of the pool play stage, it set up a pair of monumental matches in the semifinal round.

In the first semifinal, Phoenix faced off against Jones, one of the underdogs of the championship. Neither team were able to find the back of the net in the first half, with Phoenix holding a 9-5 shot advantage heading into the break. The scoreless tie was finally broken 10 minutes into the second half, thanks to a nice shot by Anacel Valenzuela-Acosta. The score would remain the same for the next 25 minutes until Daizy Arredondo tacked one more on for the Bears in the 80th minute. Phoenix's goalkeeeper, Jennifer Alvillar, held on for the clean sheet to send the Bears to the championship final.

The second semifinal was filled with twists and turns. Much like the first game, both teams struggled to find the back of the net in the first half. With just two minutes remaining, the game would be delayed for almost an hour due to lightning. Once play resumed, the rest of the half was finished, with the second half starting almost immediately. Eleven minutes into the second half, Cora Perez put Heartland on the board thanks to a nice pass from Lucia Cuadra. The lead did not last long however, as Cariel Ellis found the back of the net for her fourth tournament goal in just three games. Both teams would have ample opportunities for the remaining 30 minutes, but would not capitalize. This would continue into overtime, as both goalies refused to let anything pass, forcing a second overtime. With just three minutes remaining before the match was set to head to PKs, none other than Cariel Ellis would find herself 1-on-1 with the Hawks' goalkeeper thanks to a deflected pass, and smashed one by her to set up a championship matchup between the Bulldogs and the Bears.
