What a finish. After winning our bracket, we had to wait while Crush finished their business. Going into Sunday morning, Crush had finished their games Saturday PM. Meanwhile, Nemesis had to play a game early Sunday morning, they needed o post a shutout as well as score six goals to come out ahead of Crush. Well they didn't. Nemesis won 5-0 and forced the tournament director to go through all of the tie-breaker possibility. Most points - even, head to head-tie, Goals Against - tied, Goals For-tied, even differential - tied. Crush had to be called up to travel to Starfire to shoot PK's to determine the winner.
Our game against Crush started immediately after they won PKs. We had some pretty good opportunities throughout the game but couldn't convert on them. We led the game 1-0, with less than 10 minutes to go when Crush put the ball in during the scrum following a corner kick. We looked like we slowed down in the final few minutes and the game ended 1-1.
Straight to PK's. Alexa was put into keeper service. Both teams scored on their first attempt. Then a miss or two by both and then Alexa came up big on a couple of shots.
This save even things out.
But the following save was the biggest.
