Mudrow said while the game was physical, he was impressed with the way his girls battled until the end.

“We could have very easily given up when we fell behind early, but the girls kept fighting and really stepped it up in the second half to get back in it.”

Against Gladstone on Oct. 1, Estacada struggled early and fell behind 3-0 at halftime before the girls turned it around in the second half. Defensively, the team slowed down Gladstone with a pressure defense and Ice McCarty scored mid-way through the second half for their loan goal.

“We were down early but the girls played a much stronger second half and when Ice scored it gave us a little spark,” Mudrow said. “The girls are battling and working hard and we are showing improvement every game.”

The girl’s team has been hit with injuries, starting three freshmen against Gladstone and had five starters who did not play in the game.

“Our major goal is to get the kids to improve every game and continuing to learn all the new stuff we are teaching them and getting stronger in the second half of the season.”
