“I was just reading off the eyes and what they were doing from the start of the game. They like to swing through the middle and I was looking to take the middle away, which is a key part of it all. I got a step in the middle, tossed it on net and it found its way in. Getting the win is a huge confidence builder and everyone will be ready for our future games.”
