What won the game for us was we went for post on a penalty and we got three points out of it. You have to make your kicks. That's what puts you up to the next level.

Their experience kept them going. They knew how to run the field and what to do at the right times to save their energy.

That's the thing, you have to keep pressure on them. We talk about it in practice. The game is 80 minutes long and the last quarter of the game is what you have to win, which is basically the last 20 minutes. That's what we did, the fitness is up there. That's all the difference in the world.

It took us a while to get our bats going.

This was a big game for us. This clinches the conference championship and allows us to be the No. 1 seed at the district tournament. There was a lot riding on this game and I thought our kids responded well.

He carried us early on when we were struggling.
