“I saw the center-back take a bad touch against his own goal and decided to go with a minute to go. Luckily I was able to win him the ball and I played 1 against 1 with the goalie. This team win meant so much to us, especially since it was Seniors Day. We will be taking that energy with us as we enter our final conference game of the regular season on next week “- junior defender Madison Sleiman.
