"We could've won it with a break or two. We had our chances, but we'd get down in front of the goal and not put it in. It made you wonder how we got away from the attack without scoring. It happened a couple of times." Dempewolf was extremely pleased with the play of fullbacks Jason Roseburg and Joe Forst and forwards Nanu Singh and Jeff Wilson. "They all played outstanding," he said.

"Nanu made a lot of nice passes dishing off to create attacks on the goal. Half the time they put two and three defenders on him because he's such a threat." Cabrillo is 3-4 in conference games and 5-5 for the season.

We might key on a certain player and try not to let him score. We might run a certain offense and I'll tell them the only way we're going to score is off this play, rather than run and score haphazardly. Tonight we knew we were going to win.
