While the Lady Mustangs maintained their 1-0 lead at the break, the Hawks outshot TMC 8-6 in the first half.

In a defensive battle that lasted until the end of regulation play, the Lady Mustangs maintained its 1-0 lead by fending off the Hawks relentless shooting attempts. Anchoring TMC’s defense was Tita Garcia (Colorado Springs, CO) who claimed three saves and remained alert until the final whistle blew as the Hawks outshot the Lady Mustangs 4-3 in the second half.

Reporting on the regular-season finale, head coach Curtis Lewis stated, “I’m proud of the team and the way they honored the Lord and served one another.”
