fortunate good last pierre played similar soccer style tough win
We just played at Pierre and Yankton last weekend. We were fortunate to come away with a 1-0 win at Yankton. They're a tough team. They play a style of soccer that is very similar to ours. It's going to be a really good game.
expect experience last leadership night pleased ran step team work
I was very disappointed with our effort. This was a team we should have beaten. We ran out of gas. We need to step up more. We have enough leadership and experience on this team that we can't make excuses. I was more pleased with last night than today. You can't just expect to show up and win, it doesn't work that way.
beat dakota everybody exciting extremely follows game guys high knows last lead packing pierre rivalry school sent soccer south state time year
The guys are extremely excited. Everybody who follows high school soccer in South Dakota knows about how big of a rivalry we have with Pierre. Two years ago we beat them in the state championship game in Aberdeen. Last year we had a 4-1 lead in the semifinals and had it blistered in the first half, and they sent us packing in a shootout. So any time we beat Pierre in a big game, it's exciting for our players.
breakdown champions defending intense intensity last needed state time undefeated versus year
It was an intense game. They are the defending state champions and were undefeated this year. We needed to play well. We had a breakdown last year in the state tourney versus Pierre. There's a lot of intensity every time we play.
