  Speaker 1: to you by Everlett. Oswego junior goalkeeper Kyla Baher was
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: not flustered when Wabonzie Valley scored what a teammate termed
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: a fluky goal in the final minutes of regulation to
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: force penalty kicks. Behar is no stranger to PKS. She
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: is just as adept at deflecting the pressure of those
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: moments as she is turning away the actual shots. Sadly,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I have had a lot of work with PKS. I'm
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: kind of used to it, especially with my club and
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: finals and stuff. Beaher said, going into PKS, the pressure
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: is on the shooter. I have to take a deep
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: breath and play my game. She was indeed on her
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: game in those extra moments. Bayer turned away all four
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: shots she saw and visiting Aswigo beat Wabbonzie Valley four
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: to two in the Naperville Invitational game to remain unbeaten.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Wolbonzie Valley seven to four tied it at two to
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: two with two point fifty left. When Avacus converted a
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: score off a corner kick in traffic, The ball hit
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: in the crossbar and landing past the end line. It
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: was rolling around the box, bounced one time, and I
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: had to slide the ball right in. Kus said, my
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: job is to be at the top of the eighteen
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: get the rebound. I did my job. Oswego's Jordan Washington,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: who scored both of her team's goals in regulation, had
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the first penalty kick of extra time knocked away. She
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: hung her head as she walked away, but was singing
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a different tune as PK's progressed. Bayer knocked away Wobonzie
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Valley's first shot, and Oswego's Peyton Johnson converted an attempt
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: that deflected off the goalkeeper, off the post and in.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Oswego's Main Brawlly easily put her team's next attempt inside
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the far left post. My teammates they always pulled me out,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Washington said. Kylo was brilliant. I don't know how she
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: does it. She does well at keeping her mind on track.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: It did seem that Wabonzie Valley's kickers felt the pressure
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: late as Kus's shot hit the crossbar, and the third
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and fourth attempts went wide, left and high without Bayer
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: getting a hand on them. I saved the first shot,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: good shot, but I did read the other ones pretty
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: well and guessed every single one the right way, Bayer said,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: happy with myself for that. Takes a lot of practice.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: It did seem like there was a lot of pressure
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: on them. That's my job to keep the pressure on them.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Oswego fourteen zero beat Wabonzie Valley three to two on
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: April thirteenth, but the Warriors wasted no time jumping ahead.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: In the rematch. Isabella Allert scored on a cross from
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Macy Evans barely a minuted in, but Washington was taken
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: down with twenty one thirty nine left in the first
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: half and converted the penalty kick, and then she scored
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the go ahead goal just under ten minutes into the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: second half. I think we woke up with that goal
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: that they had in the first few minutes. We countered back,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Washington said. We knew it would be hard. It's tough
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: to beat a team for a second time. Washington, who
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: scored a combined fifty one goals, the last two years.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Showed off her exceptional leg strength on her second goal.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Dribbling right with a defender on her hip, Washington rifled
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: a shot back into the far left corner of the goal.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: She nearly knocked in a twenty foot shot with her
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: left foot. Moments later, I realized I had nobody to
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the right, the girl was behind me, and I kind
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: of swooped it around and kicked it in, Washington said
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of her second goal. The keeper was off center, so
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: she couldn't reach all the way I powered in. Wabonzi
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Valley kept the pressure on late, with Cuss finally scoring
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: off the second corner kick in the final three minutes.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: It was definitely a tough game. A lot of wins
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: screwed up up our shots, but everybody put in the effort.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Cuss said. We were fighting the whole game. Oswego, which
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: recorded a program record nineteen wins last year, looks well
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: on its way to eclipsing that mark. But the Panthers,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: who have outscored their fourteen opponents by a combined fifty
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: eight to nine, weren't surprised to get this kind of challenge.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Props to Wabanzi Valley. They're a really good team. They're
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: our biggest competition yet, but we had to show up
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: and bring our all no excuses, Bayer said, if we
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: want this, we need to play as hard as we
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: can
