“We got off to a great start with an early goal, and it set the tone for the game,” Nederland coach Torrey Gomez said. ‘We had more shots in the first half than we had the entire game when we last met. Our transition play was excellent as was our counter defense. We stressed finishing our chances, and that was the biggest difference tonight.”
