This was the first time the team faced Clarke since the upsetting loss at the Regional Finals hosted by Clarke last season.  “It was hard getting rid of our nerves before the game because of all the history between us. Unfortunately this took us the first half to get over,” said senior defender Hayley Wood.  The Mustangs’ defense worked hard last night with the ball remaining in their defensive half for the majority of the match. 

Going into the second half the Mustangs put junior Roxy Sweeny into goal.  “Although she’s a key player on the field, everyone knows she will work just as hard as goalie,” said senior captain Alex Pender.  This was proven after saving several difficult shots on goal throughout the entire 40 minutes she played in the net.
