Blake Montgomery came in clutch with the go-ahead goal, and Jesse Nurmi was like, "Hold up, let me add some spice" with an insurance goal. Then, Easton Cowan was all "Bet," and sniped an empty-netter to secure the dub. 💅
Easton Cowan was even quoted as saying it was “the team’s best game of the tournament so far, with everyone contributing to the scoring,” which is pretty much the definition of a serve.
