The girls stayed focused and committed, and we just kept them engaged and concentrated on the end goal, which was to reach the final and keep improving.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leading the Lady Sharks offensive attack was Gurgel, a sophomore, who led the team with 11 goals.

Some were consistent all year, and some really peaked at the end. Overall, I think the players were mentally ready. They were locked in. It was a very even match that could\u2019ve gone either way.
