Caldwell played tough on both ends of the field, making scoring opportunities and shutting Madison's high-powered offense. Madison's Catherine Zimmerman would be too much for the Chief's scoring a goal in each half to win the game.

THEY SAID IT

"Madison is a great champ. They deserved to win today. We eeked one out against them and they eeked one out on us this year. I am so proud of my team. They were banged up today. But we fought with our heart and soul. I am really proud how they bonded together. That we lost today doesn't take anything away from what we accomplished this year."—Caldwell Coach Mike Teshkoyan
