““The guys played really well today,” Lake City coach Alan Rich said. “Our midfield was solid and we were able to control a good portion of the possession, especially in the second half. Our movement off the ball was some of the best it’s been all year, the passing was sharp and I thought we attacked and defended exceptionally well with a different lineup than our previous games vs. Post Falls earlier in the season.”
