“Feels great. Feels better than two years ago when we lost in pens. That was horrible.”
Parkland dominated possession for the first hour. Northampton still struck first when freshman Jimmy Caulwell's long throw-in led to a Parkland player heading the ball backward into the net. Parkland tied it less than five minutes later, and Northampton went on to win 2-1.
