Mustangs suffer first loss

Century led at the half, 8-3.
“Century outplayed us during stretches of the game. I believe they are easily one of the top five teams in the state this year,” Mustangs head coach Brent Ritz said.
“We competed well but their defense forced us into tougher shots and their goalie played very well. We were able to get shots on the offensive end, but really struggled to finish our opportunities. I wasn’t sure how our team would respond after they went on a 4-goal run in the second half. We seemed broken, but we regrouped and finished the game with a greater intensity. We look forward to progressing into county play next week.”
