That goal never should have happened, not sure what the Riverside GK was doing. After #15 headed it, the ball went around 30 yards and she scored from like 12 out, the GK should have got it easily.

Is anyone going to provided an discussion of the championship game? I wasn't there, and I guess I can wait for the video, but it seems odd that there is no commentary at all.
To me, Mauldin was the better team. They passed better and created more chances, and were completely dominating the game until Wando scored. Wando's goal was off a corner that just bounced around and someone tapped in. Even after the goal, Mauldin still controlled the game for the most part. Wando pretty much played long ball the entire game and were constantly on the defensive. Mauldin had several good scoring chances but couldn't finish any of them.
Of the 3A and 4A finals for both girls and guys, this was the only game where I thought the team that played better didn't win.
The game was much more physical than I was expecting, and I thought the ref was extremely inconsistent with his calls. #10 on Mauldin was getting shoved a lot, and started to retaliate and he would always call the fouls she committed, but rarely call the ones she received. #15 on Mauldin was playing very dirty, elbows flying from the first minute of the game and was constantly shoving Wando players from behind.
