We man-marked Tyler (Courtright) on their biggest forward threat (Ricky Saldana) and that turned the possession game back in our favor," coach Bill Bertram said. "During the second half, the boys kept their composure and just ground them down. The boys pride themselves on being fit as we train hard all season. And today, our fitness showed and we just out-ran them"
Luis Villa and Edgar Nava combined for 10 saves for the Chiefs.
