making sure they held onto their lead. The Lady Eagles continued solid offense
and defense. Multiple players scored in the second half including: Yale and
Beem and Belle Skvorak, #10. Lake Region did manage to score a couple goals,

more than comfortable lead and secure the win. Top scorers: Emma Yale and Riley
Beem.
Final:

“We
have a philosophy, with the speed we have and the athletes we have, we can wear
teams down,” explained coach Matt Perkins. “We just got to keep working and
keep pressing. It was 6-3 at halftime...and we started cleaning up some of the
things we were having issues with. I thought we did a good job of fixing those,
I thought we did a good job pressuring...I think we did a great job.”
