I think the bigger question is:

Did NW go into the finals more/better rested than the other team? I heard that The team from Tenn had a couple of OT games and had to play their starters longer than NW did. Maybe an easier bracket had something to do with that. Tournaments usually don't have the best teams win in the end, the draw in soccer has a lot to do with it. With that many games in a short amount of time, the teams that may come from tough round robin play may have it tougher in the long run from the lack of time to rest. I am sure NW is good, but maybe on a day where both teams were rested the score would have been much closer/or maybe a different outcome would have happened.... jmo though.
