Unfortunate that USN had players out in the post season. It definitely affected them, and they are a very good team. Pretty sure they were back at the sectional game. Maybe one was still out. However, the same power forwards were back on the field. They play a defensive game, and try to get the breakaway shot. It worked for them last year, but not this year. It did make it difficult for the USJ team to score in the match, and you hate to see a team eliminated on PK shootout. The game statistics were similar to their previous meeting.
USJ and USN were matched up in state semi finals last year. USJ had 10 shots on goal to USN's 1. USJ had 13 corner kicks to USN's 0. It was a defeat that stung, so this victory was important to them.
