"But it's good. It's just getting the girls mentally prepared at this point. Physically, we've got it. It's just keeping them there mentally through the next couple rounds."The Villains, ranked No. 25 in the state overall, controlled almost the entire match taking the lead 36 seconds in and reeling off successive scores that were often just seconds apart.They controlled draws, won loose balls and found space in prime position to score.

"Again, focusing on the fundamentals and knowing that even when we are up a few goals, we still have got to communicate. We still have to keep the small things in the front of our mind."
