At Home vs. BV North

Game 7 at Aquinas vs. BV North (2-1 OT). 

Ok. Here's one we should not have lost then we should have lost, and finally we did not lose. 

First of all BV North is much better than their record. We hung a 4th overtime loss on them. 4. 

But they only developed a chance to score the one time we fell asleep off their goalie punt. (Granted that was one heck of a kick, though.) And they did score there with only 10 to go. 

BWhite Player of the Game Devin Diggs deserves some major kudos. Whigham to Gabriel to Diggs with about a minute to go was mostly Diggs. He got to the ball so quickly and with such force that when the defender glided over to create the collision he had laid Devin out to rest: just a huge PK!  Danny tied it. 

And then in overtime for Devin to have the soccer IQ to invert the t-ball off Ricardo's pass was brilliant. And Landon's pin of his defender with the inside run to get to it just ended one bizarre match. Wow. Just a great golden goal.

BWhite also gave a shoutout to Wherry. 90 minutes of very good play. 

We got great minutes again off the bench from Arias, Geiss, Ewert, and Holland . . . Not to mention Wirt. 

But probably the play not many will think about or even recall has to center on Kimball. He heads the long kick just outside his 18-box back to himself inside the box before finding Whigham's feet on a low liner. That gets us to the PK. Sam's intuitive play might just have saved the EKL race for us. We will have to see what we do with an added chance. 

We, however, need to offer up some thank you's for this one.
