We played really well after the first 10 seconds of the game,” Austin head coach Troy Holtz said. “Sarah’s goal was pure hard work. Megan Schultz, Hailee Schaefer, and AJ Barrera matched against their top line and did a great job of shutting them down. Their first line is one of the strongest we will see. East is a well coached top team in the Big 9.”
