said. “There’s more to life
than soccer so it’s great to
play for something bigger
than the game.”
Theiss heaped praise on
Galassini and McInturff.
“Galassini is good,” he
said. “We tried to double
her, but good players make
plays. Sometimes you have
to tip your hat. You have to
give credit to [McInturff],
too. She’s whipping great
balls in. Those three set
pieces made all the difference.”
Despite falling behind
3-0, the Warriors kept battling.
Madison Mikalauski
broke the shutout with 8:04
to go when she put in a rebound
after Kate Honan
fired a free kick off the
crossbar.
“I’m proud of the girls for
fighting,” Mikalauski said.
“We could’ve played better,
but at least we didn’t give
up.
“It was really fun to be
able to participate in this
event, too. The community
has done a lot for us and it’s
nice to be able to give back.
This game helps us think of
those we know who were
affected by cancer and it
makes us grateful for everything
we have.”
West nearly made it 3-2
with under two minutes
left, but East goalkeeper
Kim Seper robbed Mikalauski
with a leaping
save.
Erin Toomey had two
saves for the Warriors.
“The girls never quit,”
Theiss said. “They got a
goal back and they had a
great opportunity to score
again in the final minute and
a half.
“These girls are going to
continue to fight. They’re
improving every day. If they
keep that up, who knows
what can happen the rest of
the way in conference and
into the postseason.”
