In nearly a point for point game Carlyle was able to come away champions for the day through sheer determination. At one point a player dove for a ball sliding somewhat under the net, but knowing she couldn鈥檛 let her feet cross the centre line, she did everything she could to stop sliding and pushed herself back before her feet crossed the centre-line making the play legal.
