“I think the team did a great job of communication and team playing throughout the game,” junior goalie Aarushi Kaul said. “We did not have anyone being selfish or being the only one that wanted to take shots.”

The Mustangs started off strong and showed their strength for within the first 15 seconds of the game they put themselves on the scoreboard. Their fast offense skills and driving allowed them to continue earning goals.

Metea still had a strong lead against Schaumburg with a score of 10-4 by the end of the first half of the game. 

“We had really great communication, especially in the second half,” Kaul said. “We were calling for the ball and announcing what we were doing, which makes playing as a team infinitely easier. I communicated well with my team and blocked as many shots as I could, so I think I played pretty well.” 

Following half-time, the Mustangs continued to dominate putting one goal in after another. The Saxons tried to keep up by using multiple halftime to re-group, however, they were no match to the Mustang’s strength and stamina.
