>> HERE WE GO.

THE TWO A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP AGAIN.

WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK AND DALLAS CENTER-GRIMES.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE KEYS TO THE GAME AS THEY ARE PUMPED UP AND READY TO ROLL.

JUSTIN, HOW DO YOU SEE IT FOR DCG?

SIMI MET WITH HANNAH AND PARTECH AND GILDA MITCHELL, BIOTECH IS THE HOLDING MIDFIELD.

SHE WILL CONTROL EVERYTHING.

THAT WOULD BE THE KEY.

BUT GETTING THE BALL IN TO SEE HER AND FORSYTH EARLY IS GOING TO BE CRITICAL.

NOT JUST THAT, YOUR GLASGOW COMING OFF THE BENCH.

>> ON THE OTHER SIDE FOR WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK, THIS IS A TEAM THAT WANTS ANOTHER STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

>> TIED TO THE BACK WITH BENJAMIN AND ABBEN, BUT AGAIN IN THE MIDFIELD, THIS IS WHERE IT WILL BE WHERE ADDIE OTT WAS FANTASTIC THE OTHER DAY.

BREAKING A PLAYER GETTING THE BALL FORWARD AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

THE KEY IS CAN ANNA STROMBERG GET THE BALL IN THE BACK OF THE NET TODAY?

>> WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK PLAYING IN THEIR FIFTH STRAIGHT STATE CHAMPIONSHIP , BUT THEY ONLY HAVE ONE TITLE TO SPEAK OF.

NOW TRYING TO GO FOR IT.

THE BIG NEWS OUT OF DALLAS CENTER-GRIMES, KIELY KNEESE OUT.

YOU SAW HER WITH CRUTCHES.

SHE BROKE HER FOOT 15 MINUTES INTO THE GAME AGAINST THE SEMIFINALS AND SO SHE'S OUT.

THAT IS A LOAD OF OFFICE I WILL BE OUT OF THE GAME FOR THE MUSTANGS AS CAN HE PUT TOGETHER 28 GOALS THIS SEASON.

11 ASSIST.

THAT'S 67 POINTS AND SHOOTING ABOUT 58% ON GOAL.

NOW WILL BE REPLACED IN THE LINEUP BY ADDY JANSSEN.

SO WE START WITH DALLAS CENTER- GRIMES IN THE WHITE AND WAVERLY- SHELL ROCK WEARING THE YELLOW UNIFORMS .

AS THIS ONE IS TRICKLED OUT.

IT WILL BE A QUICK THROW IN HERE FOR DCG.

>> EXPECT TO QUIT START OUT OF THE BLOCKS FROM DCG AND I'M SURE THAT WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK ARE AWARE OF THIS AS IT LOOKS LIKE IT.

>> OUR FIRST-QUARTER KICK OF THE NIGHT AS KAMI SMITH HAD THE BALL RIGHT INTO THE DEFENDER.

SO TAKING THE CORNER WILL BE HANNAH RENZ, THE JUNIOR.

ME KNOW THE CENTER BACK , THE PLAY IN THE MIDDLE BUT WILL DO ALL CORNER KICK.

IS SHIFTED AROUND A LOT THROUGHOUT THE SEASON.

NOW THE RIGHT FOR TRYING TO CENTER THAT ONE.

COULDN'T PLAY WITH THE WIND AS IT COMES TO THE TOP OF THE ZONE.

MUSTANGS TRY TO CLEAR WIDE.

NOW THE CENTERING PASS.

NOBODY HOME THOUGH AS WAVERLY SHELL ROCK ABLE TO CLEAR IT FOR THE MOMENT AND THEN A GLISTENING TAP ON THE BALL WILL GIVE US A GOAL KICK HERE FOR WAVERLY SHELL ROCK.

>> ALL THE YELLOW JERSEYS WERE BACK ON THE EDGE OF THE PENALTY AREA OR IN THE PENALTY AREA.

BARTOK CAME IN AND CLEANED UP ALL THE PIECES, UNFORTUNATELY YOU'RE GOING WIDE WITH HIS STRIKE.

THE BLAST.

MUSTANGS TRYING TO HOLD IT IN.

DCG HAS BEEN TERRORIZING OPPONENTS THE SEASON AS IS WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK.

THE GO HAWKS COMING IN WITH AN 18-1 RECORD .

THE MUSTANGS ENTERING AT 17-3.

WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK DEFEATING DCG A FEW YEARS AGO 5-1 TO WIN THE SCHOOL'S FIRST EVER TITLE IN 2021.

LAST YEAR THE MUSTANGS WON IT .

GOT THEIR VENGEANCE.

A 12-0 IN THE FINAL OVER WAVERLY SHELL ROCK.

THIS YEAR, THE TWO DID PLAY DURING THE REGULAR SEASON AND IT WAS A WIN BY WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK.

THAT WAS BACK ON APRIL THE 20th.

HERE WE GO.

MUSTANGS TRYING TO FORCE IT DEEP INSIDE OF THE ZONE.

A LOT MORE PRESSURE ON THE BALL RIGHT NOW IS IT OFFENDED IN MIDFIELD.

MUSTANGS WILL HOLD ONTO IT.

WHO'S GOING TO BE THE GO PERSON FOR THE MUSTANGS TODAY?

WITH KNIEF OUT.

>> IT WILL BE OUT TO FORSYTH, CYR.

BUT THEN YOU HAVE WRENS AND GIL ATTACKING.

BARTOK SITTING IN .

OFF THE BENCH WILL BE CRITICAL.

GLASGOW WILL COME OFF THE BENCH.

CAME OFF THE BENCH YESTERDAY AND SCORED THE WINNER IN A 1-0 WIN.

AND NOT JUST THAT, YOU HAVE THE YOUNGER KNIEF COMING OFF THE BENCH AS WELL AND SHE WAS EXTREMELY POSITIVE COMING INTO THE GAME.

FIERY LITTLE CHARACTER.

HAD CHANCES ON GOAL.

>> AMELIA ABBEN VERY BUSY ON THROES.

NOW GRACIE ABBEN GIVING IT A SHOT DOWN OFF INTO THE CORNER.

DCG HAS BEEN STINGY DEFENSIVELY HERE AT THE STATE TOURNAMENT TOO AS WELL.

EXPLOSION , DCG BEAT MARION 10-0 AND OUTLASTED THEM YESTERDAY TO ADVANCE TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH.

HERE COME THE MUSTANGS.

THEY HAD A LOT OF SHOTS ON GOAL YESTERDAY.

ONLY GETTING ONE THROUGH AGAINST NORTH SCOTT.

GO-HAWKS TRYING TO TURN THE TIDE.

TURNING IT IN THE MIDDLE.

RIKERS PLAYS IT TO THE OUTSIDE.

SEEGERS BOUNCING IT TO HOLMQUIST TO WILL SET IT DEEP AND SLIDING INTO MAKE THE GRAB IS GOING TO BE MAYA FRITZ, THE SENIOR.

>> THAT WAS EASY THERE FOR FRITZ.

NO PROBLEM AT ALL.

BUT YOU ALSO SEE THE COUNTERATTACK AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

ANNA CAUGHT RECEIVING THE BALL BUT HERE WE GO WITH ALLI SEEGERS.

>> A NAME FAMILIAR HERE AT THE STATE TOURNAMENT.

MUSTANGS TRYING TO COUNTER .

GOOD PASS INTO THE MIDDLE.

JUST MISSED.

STREAKING PLAYER DOWN THE MIDDLE AS SHE WAS TRYING TO CONNECT TO WITH ON A COT.

WHO BECOMES THE PROLIFIC ONE HERE, WHAT THE MUSTANGS ARE HOPING FOR TODAY.

DALLAS CENTER-GRIMES WINNING A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP AND GIRLS BASKETBALL AND TRYING TO DO THE SAME THING HERE IN SOCCER.

THAT LEAD PASS JUST INTERCEPTED ON THE WAY.

AGAIN WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK GETTING IT DONE.

WHERE THEY NEED TO GET DONE AS OUGHTS WILL PUSH IT AHEAD.

>> AMELIA ABBEN, RIGHT PLACE RIGHT TIME.

INTERCEPTING THE PASS .

CLOSING THE PASSING LANES.

A DANGEROUS BALL WAS PASSED THROUGH BUT A QUICK INTERCHANGE OF COMBINATIONS WITH FORSYTH LOOKING FOR CYR.

PLAYING THE BALL FIRST TIME.

>> STROMBERG , TOUGH PLAY IN THE ABLE TO GET IT BACK HERE FOR DALLAS CENTER-GRIMES.

HIS PASS AHEAD .

DCG PLAYING WITH ONE REALLY LEAD OUT IN FRONT , JUSTIN.

YOU CAN TELL THEY ARE TRYING TO STRETCH THAT FIELD.

TO OLIVIA CYR.

>> NOT JUST THAT.

LOOK AT WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK.

THEY HAVE MATCHED UP THE EARLY STAGE OF THE GAME WHERE DCG CAME AT THEM WITH PACE LIKE WE KNEW THEY WOULD.

IT WAS EXPECTED BY WAVERLY- SHELL ROCK AS WELL.

THEY HAVE WEATHERED THAT STORM.

THEY'VE HAD A FEW CHANCES GOING FORWARD .

NOW IT'S JUST GAINING MOMENTUM INTO THE GAME.

WE'VE SEEN GOALS IN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES OF GAMES.

CAN YOU GET PAST OF THE STAGE?

AS YOU SEE, DCG ARE LOOKING FOR.

THEY ARE HUNGRY AT THIS POINT.

>> SPENDING A LOT OF ENERGY HERE EARLY ON.

MIDFIELD.

THAT'S OUGHTS WHO WILL TRACK IT DOWN.

FOUND THE BACKSIDE OF HER TEAMMATE .

NOW WE HAVE A LATE WHISTLE.

>> GOOD ADVANTAGE THERE.

>> ERIN VALLEY, THE REFEREE, WAITING TO SEE HOW THAT WOULD PLAY OUT.

THAT WILL BE A FREE KICK FOR WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK.

WATCH IT HERE.

>> LOOK AT THE INITIAL TACKLE.

LATE TACKLING.

REFEREE WAS PLAYING ADVANTAGE .

SECOND PHASE DIDN'T COME IN.

IT WAS INTERCEPTED BY BARTAK SO GOES BACK TO THE INITIAL FOUL.

>> BOXED OUT.

WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK HOLDING THE POSSESSION DEEP WITH THE THROW HERE.

IT LOOKS LIKE THE GO-HAWKS WILL GO TO THE BENCH EARLY.

SCOTT SCHARA NOT MESSING AROUND.

WHEN WE WERE TALKING TO WAVERLY- SHELL ROCK, THEY MENTIONED THEY WANT TO GET PLAYERS IN A NOTE AND SUBSTITUTE FREQUENTLY.

JUST TO GET SOME GOOD REST.

KENT COMING INTO THE GAME.

>> A HANDBALL WILL BE CALLED.

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY HERE.

ABOUT 30 YARDS OUT.

FOR WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK.

A QUICK LAST.

THAT WILL SKIP LEFT OF THE NET .

STROMBERG MIGHT'VE WENT TOO QUICK.

TRYING TO CATCH DCG SETTING UP.

IT WILL BE A GOAL KICK COMING UP FOR MAYA FRITZ.

>> THAT'S WHAT YOU'LL GET FROM STROMBERG SHE WILL TAKE THAT CHANCE IF YOU GIVE HER TIME AND SPACE.

SHE WILL TAKE IT.

>> A GOOD BATTLE FOR THE BALL IN THE MIDDLE.

WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK TRYING TO GO , LITTLE GIVE AND GO HERE.

AND DCG HAS BEEN QUITE THE AGGRESSOR IN THE OPENING MINUTES.

NO LOOK OUT .

CLEAN WAS THE TACKLE .

GET A CALL BUT NOT GETTING IT.

AS THAT WAS TURNED AROUND TOWARDS THE MIDDLE.

>> LOVELY BALL AROUND THE CORNER BY CYR.

>> PLAYING OFF TO THE RIGHT TO SMITH.

THAT WILL BE BLASTED OUT SO WE GET A THROW FROM THE NEARSIDE LINE.

FOR DCG.

>> OVERMAN CAME OVER AND CLEARED THE BALL FOR A THROW IN.

>> WE HEARD FROM BOTH SIDES.

THIRD YEAR IN A ROW THEY'VE MET .

KNOW EACH OTHER IN PLAY DURING THE REGULAR SEASON.

NOT EXPECTING ANY SURPRISES, BUT THE ENERGY LEVEL EARLY ON HAS BEEN WITH DALLAS CENTER- GRIMES.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK IS DOING THIS STRATEGIC WE , HOLDING SOME RESERVE HERE.

>> GUESS, THEY ARE.

THEY WERE AWARE OF IT.

I'M LOOKING BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE BALL COMES IN.

>> PLAYED UP.

EGGENA WILL LET IT ROLL TO THE RIGHT OF THE NET.

KICK COMING UP FOR WAVERLY- >> CYR HEADING OVER THE CROSSBAR .

NOT QUITE GETTING UNDER IT AS WE SEE A CHANGE COMING IN HERE.

GRACIE ABBEN.

IT LANDED ON CYR'S HEAD.

NOTHING DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH THEIR FOR EGGENA.

>> THAT'S TWO QUICK SUBSTITUTIONS BY WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK.

WANTING TO GET FRESH LEGS INTO THE GAME.

WITH THE EARLY STAGES OF THIS CONTEST, ONLY 10 MINUTES IN.

THAT'S TWO SUBSTITUTIONS.

COACH SCHARA WANTING TO HAVE SOME FRESH LEGS A LITTLE BIT LATER ON.

AGAIN SCORELESS 10 MINUTES IN.

THIS ONE ROLLED UP.

IT WILL STAY WITH DCG.

EACH TEAM PLAYING AFFIRMATION OF A 3-5-2.

IT ROLLED THROUGH THE KEYS TO THE GAME AND ONE THING THAT DAN JAMES TOLD US WAS THE BENCH HAS TO BE A FACTOR TODAY FOR THE DALLAS CENTER-GRIMES MUSTANGS .

HASN'T GONE TO IT JUST YET .

WHAT DOES HE MEAN BY THAT?

>> I THINK HE'S JUST BEING REALLY FOR CAUTIOUS AT THIS MOMENT BECAUSE HE DOES SUB QUICKLY , BUT HE DOES HAVE PLAYERS ON THE BENCH WORK HE HAS THE DEPTH.

YOU HAVE GLASGOW AND KNIEF COMING OFF THE BENCH.

THEY WILL LOOK TO SCORE A GOAL EARLY IN THE GAME AS WE ARE 11 MINUTES IN.

TALK ABOUT SUPERSTITIOUS .

>> THAT ONE TRACK DOWN BY THE MUSTANGS.

GREAT HUSTLE BY HANNAH RENZ, THE JUNIOR.

A HANDBALL WILL BE CALLED.

>> NO ADVANTAGE THERE BUT TALK ABOUT SUPERSTITION.

SCOTT HAS MADE THE SAME TWO CHANGES HE MADE YESTERDAY EARLY IN THE GAME.

IN THE FIRST GAME I DID.

IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME.

I THINK HE PREDICTED THE SCORE AS WELL.

>> I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.

WE HAD A CHANCE TO CATCH UP WITH ZOE CAMPBELL, HIS ASSISTANT COACH.

EGGENA HAS THAT ONE D. THE BLAST .

EGGENA RIGHT THERE WHERE SHE NEEDED TO BE!

>> AND KAMI SMITH GETTING AROUND THE BALL , BUT THE STARTING POSITION OF EGGENA WAS FANTASTIC.

LOVELY BALL PLAYED INTO THE BOX.

DELIVERY WAS AWESOME.

KAMI JUST GETTING HER HIPS AROUND THE BALL BUT EGGENA'S STARTING POSITION WAS PERFECT.

>> ONE THING THAT EGGENA DOES NOT DO WHICH IS A LOWER REBOUND SHOT, AND THE MUSTANGS NEARLY HAD ONE RIGHT THERE.

LET'S SEE IF WE CAN SEE THE COUNTERATTACK.

A KICK WILL BE SOFTLY PLAYED BY FOR AS ANNA CAUGHT, THE FRESHMAN TRIED TO SQUEEZE THAT ONE IN THE GO HAWKS SPORT TWO SETS OF TWINS ON THE ROSTER WITH THE ABBEN FAMILY AND THE OTT FAMILY.

THE OTT'S ARE FRESHMAN'S AND THE ABBEN'S ARE SOPHOMORES.

GOING TO TRY TO TRACK IT DOWN.

THEY WILL PUNCH IT OUT.

JUST RELENTLESS PRESSURE EARLY ON BY DALLAS CENTER-GRIMES.

NOW THE MUSTANGS WILL GO TO THEIR BENCH.

>> GLASGOW IS COMING IN.

>> FORSYTH WILL CHECK OUT AND COMING IN FOR DCG WILL BE GLASGOW WHO WILL DO THE THROW.

>> MILLS ON THE FAR SIDE >> PLAYED UP IN THE AIR OFF THE HEAD.

MUSTANGS NEED SPACE AND CAN THEY FIND IT?

NO.

OFF WITH IT IS OTT.

ANNA CASTILLO MAINTAINS THE POSSESSION AFTER THE ATTEMPTED TACKLE.

NOW DALLAS CENTER-GRIMES TURN IT AWAY.

AND WE SEE A BREAKAWAY THIS WAY?

CYR .

INSIDE THE BOX.

TRIES TO CENTER IT AND GOOD JOB .

WHAT A JOB WELL DONE BY WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK TO SAVE THE ATTEMPT.

>> CYR WANTED IT ON HER RIGHT FOOT.

THE COVER WAS GOOD THERE FROM ADDIE OTT.

>> NOW WE ARE STARTING TO SEE END TO END ACTION AND WAVERLY- SHELL ROCK LOOKING FOR A BIT OF A BREAK.

IS WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK AND LINDSEY OVERMANN SET I'M GOING TO GIVE IT TO JUSTIN FORSTER.

NOW, THE THROW.

>> I WAS GETTING READY TO JUMP IN THERE AND PLAY.

>> TO THE OUTSIDE.

GOOD TOO FOR THE BALL.

>> GLASGOW'S TOUCH WASN'T QUITE RIGHT.

>> THIS ONE GOING TO BE SENT DEEP.

EASILY PLAYED BY KATELYN EGGENA WHO BY THE WAY, EGGENA IS NOT ONLY A FANTASTIC KEEPER, BUT ON THE BASKETBALL COURT, SHE CAN HANDLE THE BALL.

HAS SOME GREAT HANDLES.

MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE IF YOU WANTED TO TO PICK HER SPORT FOR COLLEGE.

>> SHE COULD DO BOTH AT A D3 INSTITUTION.

>> MAY BE HIGHER.

>> TRUE.

>> STROMBERG USED TO THE BACK OF HER HEAD THAT TIME BUT WHEN RIGHT TO DCG.

WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK NOT ABLE TO MUSTER MUCH OF AN OFFENSE.

WHAT A TUSSLE IN THE MIDDLE.

TOE WITH GLASGOW .

LANDRY, A LITTLE SLOW TO GET UP.

IT WILL BE A KICK COMING UP FOR DCG .

NOTHING MALICIOUS THERE THOUGH BY SEEGERS.

THE TWO JUST GOT TIED UP.

>> NOTHING MALICIOUS THERE.

GOT TIED UP.

IT'S A COMPETITIVE GAME.

THE COW DEEP THE BACK LINE IS.

>> THIS IS A DEEP SHOT.

STEPPING UP INTO IT IS KATELYN EGGENA.

>> IT CAN BE A PROBLEM FOR GOALKEEPERS OF THE BACK LINE DROPS TOO DEEP INTO THE 6 YARD BOX.

MAYBE HOLD THE 18 YARD LINE FOR THE PENALTY SPOT.

>> SEE WHAT THE MUSTANGS DO .

TO THE OUTSIDE, GLASGOW.

IT WILL BE BOXED OUT AND A CORNER KICK COMING UP HERE FOR THE MUSTANGS.

>> THE LITTLE FLICK WITH THE OUTSIDE OF HER RIGHT FOOT.

PLAY IN GLASGOW IN.

GLASGOW TRYING TO GET THAT BALL ONTO HER RIGHT FOOT.

LEARNING A CORNER.

DONE HER JOB.

>> HANNAH RENZ READY TO GO.

SEVEN ASSISTS ON THE SEASON.

THIS ONE NOT GOING TO GET THERE.

>> HANNAH RENZ WAS LEANING AWAY FROM THE BALL.

THIS IS THE CHANCE TO GET THE BALL IN THE BOX.

POSSESSION GIVEN AWAY.

>> 88 DEGREES HERE AT GAME TIME.

CAN WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK , BACK TO THEIR BENCH.

THEY CHECK IN TO THE GAME WITH MYA BEHRENDS.

TRYING TO FIND SOME FRESH LEGS.

EGGENA WITH THE GOAL KICK.

'S CYR WITH A LEFT-HANDED BOOT AND TAPPED OUT.

>> YOU GIVE THE SPACE TO SEE HER AND SHE WILL DO THAT.

EGGENA CAME UP BIG TIME WITH THE RIGHT HAND OVER THE CROSSBAR.

AS YOU CAN SEE HERE , CYR CREATES THAT SPACE FOR HERSELF.

LEFT FOOT .

EGGENA READ IT WRONG.

>> YOU WANT COOKIES?

NO.

FROM THE CORNER, BACK INTO IT .

THE NET WAS OPEN AS EGGENA CAME OUT AND THE HEADER WENT LEFT.

WOW .

DCG HAS BEEN RELENTLESS , AND EGGENA WANTS SOME TIME TO GO BY AS WE NEAR OUR FIRST WATER BREAK OF THIS CLASS TO A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

EGGENA READY WITH THE GOAL KICK .

WENT WIDE WITH THE BLAST.

WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK SO FAR LIVING WELL WITH EGGENA IN NET.

THAT TIME GOT A LITTLE BIT OF HELP.

WITH A MISDIRECTED HEADER.

AGAIN, MUSTANGS WITHOUT THEIR STAR PLAYER .

EGGENA THIS TIME WILL REEL THIS ONE IN.

KYLIE KNIEF, THE JUNIOR LED THE TEAM IN SCORING THIS SEASON .

OUT WITH A BROKEN FOOT.

THE MUSTANGS TRYING TO GET IT DONE WITHOUT HER.

>> LOTS OF ATTACKING PLAYERS IN THERE FOR THE MUSTANGS.

KNIEF IN THERE.

CYR .

GLASGOW .

>> THE MOTOR HERE BY HOFBAUER.

A LITTLE BODY, LITTLE CONTACT .

GAIN THE ADVANTAGE.

THAT WILL GIVE A FREE KICK FOR WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK.

>> A FOUL GREAT ANGLE ON THAT.

CREDIT TO THE CAMERAMAN.

>> KENT HAS BEEN HOLDING TOUGH, WORKING THAT SIDELINE.

THIS WILL STAY WITH DALLAS CENTER-GRIMES.

THE QUICK THROW OUT AHEAD TO SEE HER.

TRYING TO USE HER RIGHT FOOT WITH THE BLAST.

EGGENA ON HER KNEE, ABLE TO PICK IT UP OFF THE WICKED HOT.

>> EARLIER LEFT FOOT.

NOW WITH THE RIGHT FOOT.

IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT LOW ON THE GROUND FOR EGGENA.

WE ARE OVER HALFWAY THROUGH THE FIRST HALF.

HERE'S A SHOT THAT GOES WIDE OF THE NET.

WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK WITH HER DEEPEST ATTEMPT .

THAT'S GOING TO BRING US TO A WATER BREAK.

19:50 TO PLAY IN THE OPENING HALF.

IT'S THE 2A TITLE MATCH.

WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK, DALLAS CENTER-GRIMES HERE ON IOWA PBS.

>>> SCORELESS GAME.

WE ARE AT THE WATER BREAK AT THE FIRST HALF.

20 MINUTES TO PLAY.

DALLAS CENTER-GRIMES AND WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK.

WHAT A SHOW DOWN HERE IN THE TWO A CHAMPIONSHIP.

PRIOR TO THIS GAME, THE GOLDEN PLAQUE OF DISTINCTION WAS AWARDED AND IT GOES TO SPENCER'S SOCCER COACH JOHN HENSEL .

CANCEL PRIOR TO THE START OF THE 2A CHAMPIONSHIP.

HE HAS HAD A WONDERFUL CAREER AND GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY IN NORTHWEST IOWA , TO THE SPENCER TIGER PROGRAM.

THEY REACHED THE STATE TOURNAMENT SIX TIMES UNDER HIS DIRECTION AND THEY WERE SEMIFINALISTS IN 2018 AND 2021.

HIS OVERALL RECORD 151 MINUS 36 .

SO CONGRATULATIONS TO COACH HENSEL .

HERE, JUSTIN, IF YOU'RE WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK, YOU HAVE TO FEEL PRETTY GOOD, DON'T YOU?

>> DEFINITELY.

I'M SURE COACH SCOTT IS SAYING BE CALM, BE PATIENT.

THEY ARE SOAKING UP THE PRESSURE .

ON THE BACK, BENJAMIN AND OVERMANN HAVE DONE WELL.

IN THE MIDDLE, BAUMHOVER AND SEEGERS HAVE DONE REALLY WELL.

CONTAINING .

EGGENA HAS BEEN BIG- TIME.

>> IT'S INTERESTING THAT HEAD COACH DAN JAMES OF DCG SAID WE HAVE TO BE PATIENT AND TAKE SHOTS.

THEY'VE BEEN TAKING SHOTS IN THE FIRST HALF.

>> THEY'VE BEEN GOING HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR.

>> FLYING AROUND.

EGGENA STANDING ON HER HEAD IN THE NET SO FAR.

>> WE EXPECTED THAT.

>> THAT'S GOING TO BE TURNED OVER.

AMELIA ABBEN WITH A QUICK THROW.

LET'S SEE IF WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK CAN MUSTER SOMETHING UP.

STROMBERG TRYING TO STICK IT OUT AHEAD.

HOLMQUIST GIVING CHASE.

NEAR SIDELINE HERE.

THIRD TIME THAT THE TWO TEAMS HAVE MET IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

WILL CONTINUE ON WITH PLAY .

CENTERING PASS TO THE OUTSIDE .

HIGH KNEES INSIDE THE BOX.

THE HEADER.

EGGENA.

INTO THE NET!

YES, IT WILL COUNT AS A SCORE.

IF I'M WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK, WAS SHE OFFSIDE OR NOT?

>> NO, SHE WASN'T.

WE'LL HAVE A LOOK AT THIS IN A SECOND WHEN IT COMES BACK UP.

WELL TAKEN GOAL.

AS YOU LOOK AT THIS, FORSYTH ASSISTS HER OWN FLICK ON.

CHIPPING IT OVER EGGENA'S HEAD.

LOFTING THE BALL OVER THE LINE .

AS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT , SOAKING UP PRESSURE AND BEING HAPPY WITH THE PERFORMANCE SO FAR.

THAT'S THE RESPONSE FROM DCG.

>> 12th GOAL OF THE SEASON AND DCG STRIKES EARLY AT 1-0.

LET'S SEE IF WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK CAN ANSWER ABOUT.

BOY, THAT IS WHAT THEY KEPT ON POUNDING THE NET , POUNDING THE NET AND THEN FINALLY ABLE TO BREAK EGGENA FOR THE FIRST GOAL OF THE GAME.

>> AGAIN, IT'S RIGHT AFTER THE WATER BREAK .

PLAYERS HAVE COME IN.

DCG ARE MORE CHARGED UP.

I SAW ELLA FORSYTH IN THERE AND KNIEF IN THERE.

GLASGOW IS IN.

I WAS WONDERING IF CYR WAS GOING TO BE IN AS WELL AND THAT WOULD ADD THE EXTRA ATTACKING FORCE TO THE DCG MUSTANGS.

>> FOUL CALLED.

IT WILL BE A FREE KICK HERE FOR WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK.

ADDIE OTT WILL DO THE CHORES.

THE FRESHMAN WITH THE BIG LAST.

NOW WE'LL HAVE TO TRACK IT BACK DOWN.

GO-HAWKS NEED TO FIGURE SOMETHING OUT HERE.

OTT OUT IN SPACE .

HAD IT DEFLECTED AWAY.

WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK WILL HAVE A THROW HERE.

IT LOOKS LIKE THE GO-HAWKS AND THE MUSTANGS ARE EACH BRINGING IN TWO PLAYERS .

TRYING TO KEEP PEOPLE FRESH OUT THERE.

NO STAGNATION HERE.

COMING BACK INTO THE GAME WILL BE ALLI SEEGERS.

BEEN VERY INSTRUMENTAL FOR THEM THE SEASON.

WHAT DOES SHE HAVE COMING IN?

>> STROMBERG UP FRONT .

STROMBERG HAS COME IN WITH ALLI SEEGERS.

>> A CORNER NOW AS GABRIELLA BAUMHOVER WILL DO THE CHORES.

SENIOR .

JUST GRADUATED A WEEK AGO.

GOING TO BE GOING ON TO THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA FOR PRE- DENTAL.

TRYING TO PUT A SMILE ON THE FACE OF HER FANS.

THAT WILL NOT GET IT DONE AS IT WENT BEHIND THE NET.

TRYING TO PLAY IT WITH THE WIND.

THERE'S A BREEZE OUT OF THE EAST.

YOU'VE LIVED HERE LONG ENOUGH .

WHEN THE WIND COMES OUT OF THE EAST IN IOWA, IT MEANS YOU HAVE A CHANCE FOR SOME STORMS.

30% CHANCE AT HALFTIME HERE FOR A RAINDROP.

>> YOU ARE THE ONE THAT LIVES OUT IN THE COUNTRY AND YOU ARE THE ONE THAT KNOWS ALL OF IT .

MAYBE I SHOULD ASK SOME OF THE WAVERLEY FANS.

THE HURRICANES AND TORNADOES AND ALL THAT.

YOU ARE THE ONE THAT KNOWS.

YOU THINK WE ARE GETTING THUNDERSTORMS?

>> THERE'S NOT A CLOUD IN THE SKY.

>> THERE WASN'T A CLOUD YESTERDAY AND THEN IT APPEARED A GREAT WEEK THOUGH FOR HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER HERE AT COUNTY SOCCER PARK.

>> I LIKE THE COMPETITIVENESS IN THE MIDFIELD WITH WRENS AND SEEGERS .

>> WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK A WINNER OVER NORTH POLE.

AND IN THE SEMIFINALS THEY BEAT PELLA TO ADVANCE TO THE TITLE GAME TODAY.

AN ADVANTAGE GAINED.

FREE KICK HERE FOR WAVERLY- SHELL ROCK.

WON A CHAMPIONSHIP SAW BISHOP EVEN BEST GILBERT 2-0.

THE DEEP KICK.

GO-HAWKS CAN'T GET THE YELLOW JERSEYS AROUND THE BALL.

IT'S CAUSING PROBLEMS.

BUT THEY HAVE BEEN A BIT MORE AGGRESSIVE SINCE THAT GOAL GIVEN UP, JUSTIN.

>> US THE RESPONSE YOU WILL GET FROM THE GO-HAWKS.

ON THAT FREE KICK, WILLIAMSON TURNED HER BACK AND IT COULD'VE BEEN A PROBLEM CARRIES IT AWAY FROM STROMBERG.

THAT'S DANGEROUS.

SHE TURNED AND LET THE BALL GO PAST HER INSTEAD OF CLEARING THE LINES THE FIRST TIME.

PLAYED TO THE MIDDLE.

THE MUSTANGS ALSO NOT AS AGGRESSIVE SINCE THE FIRST GOAL.

>> BARTAK, I'M SURPRISED SHE'S BEEN A LITTLE OFF TECHNICALLY.

SHE'S GIVEN THE BALL AWAY A COUPLE OF TIMES.

BLADE AT THE BALL OUT FOR A THROW IN ON THE FOUR TOUCHLINE.

>> WE ARE GETTING INTO THE LEADER PORTION OF THE FIRST HALF.

THE THIRD GAME IN THIS HEAT THROUGHOUT THE WEEK.

MAYBE SOME EXHAUSTION SETTING IN A BIT HERE TOWARDS THE END OF THE FIRST HALF.

GET A DIRECT SHOT ON NET HERE.

AS FRITZ HAS BEEN SOLID SO FAR.

THIS WILL BE A THROW FOR WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK DEEP.

>> STROMBERG BATTLING IN THE CORNER WITH HOFBAUER AND BARTAK.

>> THE HEADER BACK TOWARDS THE MIDDLE.

AN OPPORTUNITY THAT GOES.

NOW THE SHOT AND IT WILL BE HELD IN BY FRITZ.

WHOA!

HOW DID SHE GRAB THAT?

>> FRITZ WITH THE SAVE OF THE DAY HERE IN THE 2A CHAMPIONSHIP.

BACK ON THE OTHER END, THE COUNTERATTACK INTO THE MIDDLE .

NOW TRYING TO FIND OPEN SPACE.

A FOOT RACE TO THE BALL.

ENGLIN WILL PUSH IT AHEAD.

SUMMA ENGLIN DOING WELL TO CLEAR HER LINES.

FORSYTH TUCKED IN THE EDGE OF THE PENALTY AREA.

TOO BIG.

ON THE THROW IN, THE BALL WASN'T INITIALLY CLEARED FROM THE FIRST OFFENDER.

SHE WOULDN'T HAVE TO MAKE THAT SAVE IF IT WAS CLEARED.

BUT SHE DID WELL TO GET THERE WITH THOUGHTS.

OTT WAS POKING IN AS WE LOOK AT THE SITUATION .

A BIT OF SHIRT PULLING .

THESE PLAYERS ARE COMPETITIVE AND IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

>> FREE KICK COMING UP.

OTT .

A BIG LAST THE HEADER GOING UP.

THE KICK TOWARDS THE NET.

THE REBOUND .

NOT THERE FOR WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK.

THEY MAY HAVE HAD A CHANCE THERE.

COULDN'T CATCH UP TO IT.

THEY TRIED TO HOLD IT INSIDE OF THE ZONE I KNOW IT'S A COUNTERATTACK BY DCG.

>> STROMBERG UNLUCKY WITHOUT ONE.

AND LUCKY FOR DCG.

YOU THINK ABOUT WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK, THEY POSTED 17 SHUTOUTS THE SEASON.

A REGULAR-SEASON MATCHUP.

THAT DEFINITELY HURTS , BUT THEY'VE SHOWN SOME FIREPOWER HERE LATELY.

>> YES, THEY HAVE.

EARLIER IN THE SEASON, WE TALK ABOUT THE SCENE BEING SO CONGESTED , WITH INJURIES AND FATIGUE.

EVERYBODY IS HEALTHY HERE EXCEPT FOR KNIEF WHO WAS INJURED YESTERDAY UNFORTUNATELY.

BOTH TEAMS ARE HEALTHY.

>> SHOULD BE THE FINAL SECONDS HERE AND THAT WILL BE IT.

THE END OF THE FIRST HALF.

ALONE GOAL BY ELLA FORSYTH .

HER 12th OF THE SEASON HAS HER TEAM UP THROUGH THE FIRST 40 MINUTES OF PLAY.

BEER AT INTERMISSION IS YOU'RE WATCHING THE CLASS 2A STATE SOCCER CHAMPIONSHIP HERE ON IOWA PBS.

>>> 1-0, DALLAS CENTER-GRIMES LEADS IT HERE AT INTERMISSION IN THE CLASS 2A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP OR THE IOWA GIRLS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP'S ROLL ON AND IOWA PBS IS COMMITTED TO TELLING STORIES ABOUT YOUNG IOWANS DOING EXCEPTIONAL THINGS BY CELEBRATING THEIR SUCCESS AND SHARING THEIR JOURNEY THROUGH A DIGITAL SERIES WE CALL IN THEIR WORDS.

NOW WE LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO ELLIE BOOTH WHO STARTED DANCING WHEN SHE WAS JUST THREE YEARS OLD.

ELLIE SHARES HER LOVE OF DANCE HAS HELPED HER OVERCOME CHALLENGES AND REALLY SHAPE FUTURE GOALS.

>> MY NAME IS ELLIE BOOTH AND I'M A LEADER AND A DENSER.

>> I'VE BEEN DANCING SINCE I WAS THREE YEARS OLD AND MY MOM HAS BEEN A BIG INFLUENCE.

I GREW UP IN WAVERLY, IOWA AND MANY WOULD DESCRIBE ME AS AN ENERGETIC CHILD.

THIS IS HELP ME WITH A HIGH LEVEL OF ENERGY YOU NEED TO BE A DANCER.

I'M NOW 18 YEARS OLD AND I THINK THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT ACTIVITIES IN MY LIFE WOULD DEFINITELY BE DANCE AND DECOR.

WHILE THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES, THEY HAVE SHAPED ME INTO WHO I AM TODAY AND TO I HOPE TO BECOME ONE DAY.

DECCA IS A BUSINESS STUDENT LED ORGANIZATION THAT IS ASPIRING YOUNG LEADERS TO PURSUE THEIR CAREERS IN FINANCE, MARKETING, HOSPITALITY AND MANAGEMENT.

BEING A PART OF THE CORE, I'VE SERVED AS THE CHAPTER PRESIDENT FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS AS WELL AS THE IOWA DECA VICE PRESIDENT OF MARKETING FOR THE ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES THAT I FACED IS LOSING 85% OF HEARING WHEN I WAS ONLY NINE YEARS OLD.

WHILE THIS WAS A HUGE CHALLENGE WITH BEING A DANCER BECAUSE YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE MUSIC AND THE COUNTS, DANCE STILL REMAIN THE MOST CONSISTENT THING IN MY LIFE AT THIS TIME.

I RECEIVED BACK 75% OF MY HEARING, AS WELL AS RECEIVED A TITANIUM BONE IN MY RIGHT EAR.

I STILL DON'T HAVE 100% HEARING IN EITHER OF MY EARS SO IT'S SOMETHING I STILL STRUGGLE WITH TODAY .

BUT I'VE LEARNED TO RECOVER JUST BY ASKING QUESTIONS THAT CAN HELP ME WITH FIGURING OUT COUNTS.

I'VE BEEN ATTENDING STATE DANCE EVER SINCE I WAS 10 YEARS OLD .

ATTENDING STATE DANCE EVERY YEAR, ESPECIALLY AS A COMPETITOR AS BEEN A PEAK IN MY SEASON.

IT'S INSPIRED ME TO KEEP DANCING EVERY YEAR AND HAS ALSO INSPIRED ME TO KEEP DANCING FOR FUTURE YEARS TO COME.

I WOULD SAY PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST REWARDING EXPERIENCES I'VE GONE THROUGH WITH THE PAST 15 YEARS AS BEING ON A TEAM I CAN COUNT ON IS A FAMILY AFTER BEING PART OF THE WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK DANCE TEAM, IT'S BEEN SOMETHING WHERE I'VE MET ALL MY BEST FRIENDS .

MY MOM HAS BEEN MY HIGH SCHOOL COACH FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS WHICH HAS BEEN AN EXPERIENCE, BUT I THINK I WOULD TRADE IT FOR THE WORLD.

I'VE ALSO ATTENDED DIFFERENT STUDIOS TO TAKE CLASSES AS WELL AS TEACH DANCE AT A LOCAL STUDIO IN TOWN.

I JUST TRIED OUT FOR THE SOUTH DAKOTA STATE DANCE TEAM AND I DID MAKE THE TEAM.

I MOST EXCITED FOR THAT BECAUSE THAT HAS BEEN A DREAM OF MINE SINCE I WAS YOUNG.

ATTENDING THE COLLEGE HELPING WITH THE TRIAL PROCESS, BOTH DANCING AND TALKING TO COACHES.

IT ALSO TAUGHT ME THE MENTAL ASPECT IS TO KEEP GOING NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS.

EVEN IF YOU FALL OUT OF A TURNER FOR A LOT OF A JUMP, IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP A SMILE ON YOUR FACE AND KEEP WORKING HARD TO SHOW THE COACH THAT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, YOU CAN OVERCOME THAT OBSTACLE.

THROW DANCE, I LACK SELF- CONFIDENCE IN MANY DIFFERENT TURNING HAS BEEN ONE OF THOSE THINGS IS BEEN MORE DIFFICULT FOR ME I FEEL .

I HAVE FOUND MYSELF TELLING MYSELF THAT I CAN'T DO IT.

NO MATTER WHAT, I KEEP PERSEVERING AND WORKING ON THINGS UNTIL I KNOW I CAN DO IT, SO I CAN GET THAT SELF- CONFIDENCE BACK.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO FIND BALANCE, ESPECIALLY WITH SUCCESS BECAUSE YOU'RE ONLY AS HEALTHY AS YOUR MIND IS.

ONE THING THAT'S HELPED ME DESTRESS WHEN I'M PUSHING HARD THROUGH THE PEAK OF MY SEASON IS TO TAKE TIME FOR MYSELF AND NOT THINK ABOUT ANYTHING.

I TRY TO TAKE A STEP BACK WHEN I COME ACROSS CHALLENGES, SO I CAN GET THE BIG PICTURE OF WHAT MY NEXT STEP TOWARD SUCCESS MAY BE.

I'VE ALWAYS HAD BIG GOALS FOR MYSELF AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A HIGH ACHIEVING INDIVIDUAL.

THINKING ABOUT MY FUTURE WHEN IT COMES TO CHALLENGES HAS HELPED ME TO PERSEVERE THROUGH THOSE.

ONE THING I'VE ENJOYED MOST ABOUT DANCE IS HOW MUCH IT HELPS YOU PUSH YOUR BODY IS OKAY.

AT SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY, I'M GOING TO MAJOR IN EXERCISE SCIENCE AND MINOR IN DANCE I DECIDED TO MAJOR IN EXERCISE SCIENCE BECAUSE I WANT TO HELP OTHER DANCERS AND ATHLETES BE ABLE TO PUSH THEIR BODY PHYSICALLY AND KEEP THEMSELVES HEALTHY .

TIER >>> 1-0 DALLAS CENTER-GRIMES THE LEAD ON WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK AS WE ARE READY TO GET THE SECOND HALF UNDERWAY.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE FIRST HALF HIGHLIGHTS HERE.

DCG WAS THE AGGRESSOR EARLY ON.

HERE'S HERE WITH THE BOOT.

EGGENA ABLE TO BACKHAND THAT ONE AWAY.

THEN IN THE NET, FRITZ WAS LIVING WELL FOR THE MUSTANGS .

THEN THE OPPORTUNITY CAME.

AND HOW ABOUT THIS ONE UP IN THE MIDDLE?

THE LONE GOAL BY ELLA FORSYTH AS SHE WAS ABLE TO GET ENOUGH TOE ON THAT TO GIVE HER TEAM THE LEAD.

AGGRESSIVELY BY BOTH THERE AT THE END OF THE FIRST.

>> THERE WAS A MOMENTUM SWING AS WELL GOING WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK'S WAY.

THEY HAD A BIT OF PRESSURE.

THEY WERE LUCKY, TRENDY.

THEY DIDN'T WANT TO CONCEDE BEFORE HALFTIME.

LOOKS LIKE THE SHAPE IS STILL THE SAME AND LOOKS LIKE DCG HAVE COME OUT WITH THE SAME STARTING LINEUP THEY DID IN THE FIRST HALF FROM WHAT I SEE.

>> NO SUCH THING AS LUCK.

YOU CREATE IT.

NOT JUST THAT.

YOU HAVE TO WORK HARD FOR.

LOOK AT HAPPEN ANYTIME.

YOU LOOK AT THIS.

HARD WORKERS ARE THE ONES THAT WILL GET THE RESULTS IN THE END.

>> DALLAS CENTER-GRIMES IN THE WHITE.

HOPE YOU'RE ENJOYING THE CLASS 2A CHAMPIONSHIP.

THE ONE A TITLE GOES TO BISHOP EARLIER TODAY 2-0.

AS THEY WON THEIR SCHOOL'S SECOND STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK TRYING TO DO THAT TOO BUT THEY HAVE TO COME FROM BEHIND IN THE SECOND HALF.

THE MUSTANGS DON'T SEEM LIKE THEY WANT TO GIVE THEM AN INCH HERE.

>> THIS IS A POINT IN THE GAME IN THE NEXT FIVE MINUTES FROM THE KICKOFF , BEFORE A GOAL, AFTER EQUAL.

VERY IMPORTANT IS TO NOT COME COMPLACENT.

THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING BECAUSE YOU AND SWITCH OFF AT MOMENTS LIKE THAT IN THE GAME.

>> A SMALL BOOT.

LAID OUT IN FRONT.

EGGENA.

NO REBOUND AS WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK WILL CLEAR IT AWAY.

EGGENA TESTED ALREADY HERE IN THE EARLY GOINGS OF THE SECOND HALF.

DAN JAMES AND HIS MUSTANGS, THEY WANTED TO PLAY AGGRESSIVE.

HE SAID BE PATIENT , BUT PATIENT FOR WHAT?

IT'S LIKE THE TEAM WAS SAYING WHERE ARE WE GOING TO BE DROPPING OR GOING?

>> WHY BE PATIENT WHEN YOU CAN GO TRY TO WIN THE GAME?

>> THEY'VE HAD THAT MINDSET FROM THE BEGINNING.

EGGENA ABLE TO SKIP TO THE SIDE OF THE NET AND PLAY THAT ON A HOT HERE .

>> TRYING TO SHOOT FROM THAT ANGLE.

SHE'S OFF-BALANCE.

NOW YOU'VE GIVEN AWAY POSSESSION.

EGGENA SLICING THAT OUT OF BOUNDS.

LET'S SEE IF WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK CAN COUNTER BACK ON THIS.

KEEPING IN AND PLAY THAT TIME WAS STROMBERG.

TOUGH DEFENSE.

>> GREAT TACKLE BY BARTAK.

>> TOO MUCH TIME ON THE BALL.

WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK .

HEADER MISSED.

OPEN FOR FAIRPLAY AND IT WILL BE BOOTED OUT BY DCG.

THE COUNTERATTACK.

>> HOW MANY PLAYERS DID THAT BOUNCE THROUGH?

HOLMQUIST EARLIER ON WITH THE BALL.

NO SUPPORT.

BIENEMANN COULD HAVE COME UP EARLIER TO PROVIDE SUPPORT.

GREAT TACKLE.

>> WE ARE SEEING TERRIFIC PLAY OUT HERE DEFENSIVELY.

IT MIGHT APPEAR ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES, BUT IT'S FAIRPLAY.

NOW ALONG THE SIDE LINE, DCG WITH THE OPPORTUNITY AND IT'S A GOAL!

THE MUSTANGS TRY FOR THEIR SECOND GOAL OF THE DAY AND THE PRESSURE PAYING OFF.

THEY CASH IN AGAIN!

>> IT'S ALEX HOFBAUER COMING IN ON THE FAR SIDE.

THE POSSESSION HAS BEEN DOMINATED BY DCG.

>> IT'S STILL EARLY.

STILL EARLY IN THE SECOND HALF.

THEY SCORED AFTER SEVEN MINUTES INTO THE HALF, BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE THE KEY.

>> HERE COME THE MUSTANGS AGAIN.

A NICE CENTERING PASS WILL BE PLAYED UP.

TRYING TO DO THE SAME TO GO BACK TO BACK .

LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS HERE AGAIN.

STRIKING.

EGGENA IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

JUSTIN, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

>> I'D MAKE THE ADJUSTMENTS NOW.

I'LL PUSH EXTRA PLAYERS FORWARD.

I WOULD GET CARRY HOLMQUIST ON THE WIDTH.

GET A REALLY WIDE RUNNING OF THE PLAYERS.

THEN ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE, I DO THE SAME.

GET A PLAYER IN THERE WITH ACE JUST TO STRETCH THE BACK THREE.

PLAY THEM HIGHER UP ON THE LINE.

TAKE A RISK.

DON'T HAVE THEM DEFEND MUCH.

JUST PLAY WITH TWO HOLDING MIDFIELDERS AND FIVE IN THE ATTACKING ZONE AND GO FOR IT.

IF YOU CONCEDE A GOAL, DOESN'T MATTER.

IF YOU BRING ONE BACK, YOU'VE GOT A CHANCE.

THEY HAVE BEEN THE AGGRESSOR.

POSSESSION , THE NUMBER OF SHOTS ON GOAL HERE TODAY .

REALLY KEPT WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK BACK.

>> THEY HAVE.

WHAT DCG HAVE DONE WELL HERE IS THEIR WING BACKS , AND CURRENTLY PRESSURE DOWN ON THE FAR SIDE THE FIELD.

THEY ARE PLAYING HIGHER OF THE FIELD WHICH IS PUSHING WAVERLY'S WING BACKS DEEPER AND DEEPER .

WHICH MEANS THE OUTLETS AREN'T THERE ANY WIDE AREAS.

THE ONLY OPTION YOU HAVE ARE THE TWO UP FRONT IN HOT AND ANNA STROMBERG.

THE PROBLEM IS YOU HAVE BARTAK SITTING IN FRONT.

BARTAK IS CLEANING UP THE PIECES.

YOU SEE SHE'S ENJOYING THE GAME BECAUSE IT'S QUITE EASY.

WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

WITH YOU AT THE STATE TRACK MEET , ENGLIN WAS A PART OF THE STATE SHUTTLE RELAY TEAM THAT HAD A HIGH FINISH.

WE MENTIONED THE BASKETBALL PLAYERS .

TWO AS WELL.

IT'S BEEN A FUN AFTERNOON WATCHING THE ATHLETES DO THEIR WORK.

HERE'S WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK WITH THE DEEP ATTACK.

NOW THE BLAST FROM THE TOP.

HERE COMES THE COUNTERATTACK.

WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK RIGHT BACK INTO IT .

STROMBERG TRYING TO FIND AN OPENING LANE.

WITH THE BLAST.

THAT OFF THE HEAD OF A MUSTANG DEFENDER.

HELD BY DCG .

>> YOU SAID THE NAME , BLOCKED AT THE TOP OF THE BOX AND WHO WAS IT BARTAK.

SHE'S GETTING HERSELF INTO POSITION.

HER HANDS ARE ON HER HIPS, BUT SHE WILL STILL GO THROUGH THE WORK.

SHE WILL BE THERE TO DEFEND.

SHE WILL PUT HERSELF IN THE TRENCHES .

SHE'S A LEADER.

ONE OF THE CAPTAINS OF THE TEAM.

A SENIOR AS WELL.

>> MUSTANGS AGAIN.

LOOKING LIKE THE AGGRESSOR.

THE SHOT WILL GO HIGH AND WIDE.

COMING UP.

>> ALEXA GILL GETTING ON THE END OF THAT.

UNDER PRESSURE .

JUST TOO MUCH ON.

I THINK IN MOMENTS LIKE THAT, THOSE ARE OPPORTUNITIES.

JUST KEEP THE BALL TURNED.

SHIELDED.

REBUILD.

EVERYTHING IS GOING HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR.

>> PLAYED AHEAD TO STROMBERG .

TRYING TO DANCE.

FROM THE SIDELINE, THE CENTERING PASS.

TOO HIGH.

CAN'T CONTROL IT IN.

IS THAT WAS LEFT FOR SEEGERS.

COULDN'T FIND THE HANDLE.

THAT PASS WAS THERE, JUSTIN.

I THINK ON FRESHER LEGS, THEY MIGHT HAVE HAD IT.

>> TECHNICAL BREAKDOWNS DUE TO THAT REASON .

BALL BOUNCING OFF AND GOING NOT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

CROSS IN.

>> THIS ONE PLAYED FORWARD , AS HE WILL DO A GIVE AND GO.

THIS IS THE HOME FIELD OF GRANDVIEW UNIVERSITY.

THIS IS WHERE THEY PLAY THEIR SOCCER.

THE COUNTY SOCCER PARK A GREAT HOST FOR THE SOCCER TOURNAMENT OVER THE YEARS.

IS ALSO HOME TO DRAKE UNIVERSITY'S FIELD ALSO AS WELL.

THAT WILL BE TURNED OVER.

AS THE GO-HAWKS GO BACK .

DOWN BY A COUPLE OF HOLES.

NEEDING SOMETHING AS WE ARE INSIDE OF 14 MINUTES TO PLAY.

HAD A BIT OF A SPARK A MOMENT AGO, BUT QUICKLY EXTINGUISHED AND THE EXTRA CHEF.

AN ADVANTAGE WAS GAINED.

KICK COMING UP FOR DCG.

14 MINUTES TO PLAY.

THINK ABOUT WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK.

THEY MADE A HOME HERE IN THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

THIS IS THEIR FIFTH STRAIGHT APPEARANCE .

GARNERED A VICTORY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.

THIRD STRAIGHT AGAINST DCG .

MUSTANGS LOST THE OPENING MATCH BETWEEN THE TWO.

LAST YEAR, ONE IN BY DCG 2-0.

SEEM SCORE WE ARE AT NOW.

SEE IF THE GO-HAWKS CAN MAKE IT A TURN AROUND.

THEY'VE WANTED THIS REMATCH TOO.

TALKING WITH THE TEAM AND THE COACHES.

FEELING CONFIDENT.

STROMBERG WITH A LEAD PASS OUT AHEAD.

OPPORTUNITY FOR HOLMQUIST.

TRYING TO WRITE FREE.

NOW WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK STARTING TO GAIN SOME MOMENTUM.

>> THE ANGLE WAS TOO NARROW FOR HOLMQUIST MAYBE BENDED AROUND THE FAR POST.

LOOKING FOR THE TOP CORNER , OPPOSITE CORNER TO FRITZ.

FRITZ HAVE IN YOUR POST COVERED, BUT AGAIN IT'S HAVING THE AGGRESSIVENESS OF EXTRA YELLOW JERSEYS DARTING INTO THE PENALTY AREA.

GETTING ON THE END OF CROSSES .

ANNA STROMBERG LOOKING TO WIN A CORNER THERE BUT IT'S A THROW IN.

>> NARROWLY MISSED.

SYDNEY BIENEMANN , AN OUTSTANDING BASKETBALL AND VOLLEYBALL PLAYER WITH THE LAUNCH IN.

THE BLAST THAT CAME IN , AND FRITZ WILL PICK UP THE GROUND BALL.

THE BALL BOUNCING AROUND.

BOUNCING DCG'S WAY NOW.

DECISIVE HEADER BY SYDNEY BIENEMANN.

>> WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK BACK WITH THE POSSESSION.

2-0.

YOU SEE A LOT ON YOUR SCREEN.

A LOT OF WHITE JERSEYS.

SEEMS LIKE THERE IN THE WHITE RIGHT SPOT AT THE RIGHT TIME.

IS THEY HAD JUST SWARMED THE BALL TODAY.

>> AT THE COUNTER PRESS HAS BEEN GOOD FOR THEM.

THE BALL IS LOST.

THEY CLOSE THE SPACE DOWN BY ANOTHER FIVE YARDS AND GET NUMBERS AROUND THE BALL.

THEN BLOCKING THE PASSING LANES.

OPEN UP QUICKLY AND SECURE THE PASS FIRST .

THEN LOOK TO BREAK OUT.

THAT WAY THEY CAN PLAY THE BALL BETWEEN THE LINES.

SEE THE GOALSCORER, HOFBAUER.

I THINK THAT'S GLASGOW THAT'S COME IN.

HOW COULD I NOT TELL BY THE PONYTAIL?

>> INTERESTING SCENARIO BREWING FOR DALLAS CENTER-GRIMES IS A GO ON THE ATTACK .

CENTERING PASS PLAYED THROUGH.

EGGENA SEES AGO WIDE LEFT.

WHAT A DAGGER THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN .

>> THE INITIAL PASS FROM ALEXA GILL , LOOK AT THAT PASS.

DELICATE .

RIGHT WAIT.

GLASGOW WITH OUTSIDE OF HER RIGHT FOOT JUST SENDING THE BALL PAST THE POST.

PINPOINT, TECHNICAL , RIGHT WAY TO HALF PAST.

>> PLAYED RIGHT AT MIDFIELD.

A HANDFUL GOING TO BE CALLED AGAINST DCG .

10 MINUTES TO PLAY.

2-0 .

OPPORTUNITY STARTING TO DWINDLE DOWN HERE FOR WAVERLY- SHELL ROCK.

THEY HAVE LOADS OF UNDERCLASSMEN.

THINK ABOUT THE OTT AND HOW TALENTED THEY ARE.

THEY COULD MAKE A SIXTH STRAIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP APPEARANCE.

HERE'S HOLMQUIST.

INTERESTING STORY ABOUT HER.

HASN'T PLAYED SOCCER SINCE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND CAME UP THIS YEAR.

SHE'S PUT 10 IN THE NET THIS YEAR.

WOULD LIKE TO GET NUMBER 11 AND POSSIBLY 12 HERE WITH HOLMQUIST.

WHAT A STORY THAT WOULD BE , AFTER TAKING SOME TIME OFF FROM THE SPORT.

NO MORE SUBSTITUTIONS.

>> ALLI COMING BACK IN.

>> GOING OUT FOR WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK IS BAUMHOVER .

COMING IN IS GOING TO BE LILLY STOUGH .

MYA BEHRENDS BACK IN.

CENTERING PASS .

PLATE OUT FRONT AND THE SHOT GOES WIDE.

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT ICE ON THIS .

>> THAT WAS A CHANCE.

>> WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK, JENSEN HAD A GREAT LOOK .

WATCH IT.

I BEG YOUR PARDON, MILLS.

>> MILLS OFFSET WITHOUT STRIKE.

HITTING IT WITH THE OUTSIDE OF HER FOOT.

IF THAT WOULD HAVE GONE IN, I WOULD HAVE SAID THAT WAS THE FINAL NAIL.

>> NOW WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK WITH THE COUNTERATTACK.

BALL WILL STAY IN PLAY.

LOOK AT THE CHALLENGE.

IT'S WHAT DCG HAS DONE ALL DAY AND IT'S GOING TO PAY OFF.

TERRIFIC PLAY BY BARTAK.

>> TO IT IS AGAIN?

MISSOURI STATE RECRUIT.

NO WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK TRYING TO MAKE A GAME OF IT.

HERE'S STROMBERG.

EVERYBODY AND THIS WILL BE SCOOPED UP BY MAYA FRITZ.

>> STROMBERG STARTING TO GET TIRED.

SHE SHOULD LOOK INTO COMBINED WITH PLAYERS AND JUST PASS IT.

LAY IT OFF.

LOOK FOR RUNS INTO SPACE.

POSITION YOURSELF IN AREAS OFF THE SHOULDERS OF WILLIAMSON.

SHE COMES INTO THE MIDFIELD.

BARTAK PICKS HER UP.

BARTAK IS EVERYWHERE STROMBERG GOES.

ALWAYS WATCHING HER.

CHECKING HER SHOULDER.

YOU CAN SEE IT OUT OF YOUR PICTURE.

>> DALLAS CENTER-GRIMES ABLE TO FIND THEIR TEAMMATES HERE.

THEIR SPACING HAS BEEN TERRIFIC HERE FOR MOST OF THIS GAME .

THE BATTLE FOR THE BALL.

SEEGERS TRYING TO GET FREE INTO OPEN SPACE.

THE HARD TACKLE.

>> FIRST IT WAS HERE, THEN IT WAS GILL.

SEEGERS DID REALLY WELL.

LOOK AT HOW THE TEAMWORK WORKS .

THERE GOES ALEXA GILL TRYING TO WIN IT.

DID THAT IT.

FOUL .

SEE THE BIG BLAST IN BARTAK WITH THE BLOCK .

>> BARTAK AND RENZ DIVING IN THERE.

SHE CONNECTED THAT, DID ANNA STROMBERG.

ABSOLUTELY PUT HER BOOT THROUGH THAT.

>> I'M HURTING JUST HEARING THAT SOUND.

>> LET'S DO IT.

NOBODY KNOWS.

IT'S NOT BEEN DOMINATED LIKE YOUR THREE A OR ESPECIALLY ONE A PEER WIN TEAM CEDAR RAPIDS XAVIER WOULD COME TO MIND.

>> THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

ANOTHER ONE THAT CAME TO MIND BECAUSE WE DID THOSE GAMES , BJ.

>> IT'S HAPPENED BEFORE.

LOOKING TO KILL TIME IN THE CORNER.

FORSYTH.

>> THAT ONE WILL BE BUMPED OUT.

STAYS WITH THE MUSTANGS AND WHITE.

>> FORSYTH DOING ENOUGH FOR CLEARANCE.

HASN'T QUITE CLEARED THE LINES.

HOLMQUIST.

THIS COULD BE THE CHANCE HERE.

OUT WIDE.

LOOK AT THE RECOVERY FROM HOFBAUER.

AGAIN, DCG FRESH .

MORE FRESH IN THIS GAME.

BALL IS LOFTED OUT.

FOOT RACE TO THE BALL.

IT WILL STAY IN .

DOING THINGS WELL AS THE MUSTANGS WILL GO WITH THE THROW.

>> THE BALL IN THE CORNER.

KILLING TIME .

SECONDS .

IMPORTANT SECONDS OFF THE CLOCK.

IT'S FRUSTRATING .

IT'S GOT TO BE SO FRUSTRATING.

I'VE BEEN ON THE END OF THAT BEFORE AND IT'S FRUSTRATING WHEN TEAMS DO THAT.

IT'S ALL PART OF THE GAME THOUGH.

>> WE CAN SEE THE ENERGY BEING EXERTED HERE.

A BIT OF AN EXTRA HOLD PUT ON BY THE MUSTANGS .

CAN WE SMITH.

>> PICKING UP POSSESSION THROUGH HANNAH RENZ.

PLAYING WITH TWO HOLDING MIDFIELDERS.

HANNAH RENZ IS DROPPED IN NEXT TO BARTAK .

EVEN HERE NOW HAS DROPPED INTO THE MIDFIELD.

THEY HAVE THE QUALITY BEHIND THE BALL.

HER LEGS ARE DONE HERE FOR WAVERLY.

>> TWO MINUTES TO PLAY .

2-0, THE LEAD.

AND WAVERLY-SHELL ROCK HAS BEEN DENIED THE BALL HERE FOR MOST OF THE LAST FIVE MINUTES.

AS THE MUSTANGS DO WHAT THEY DO.

THEY KNOW HOW TO CLOCK IT, IF YOU WILL.

THEY WILL TRY TO PICK UP ANOTHER STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

YOU THINK OF THE LITTLE HAWKEYE CONFERENCE.

WHAT A CONFERENCE YEAR.
