``I didn't expect this,'' Harvard-Westlake coach Rich Corso said. ``I expected a win. With the players we had, we should have been able to win. ...

They spend the whole season preparing for these two games, to get back to the final. Now we're not going back.'' In a game dominated by solid defense from both teams, the Wolverines (22-6) blamed no one but themselves. ``We just didn't execute on details,'' Corso said. ``It's just a matter of concentration.'' Harvard-Westlake took the initial lead on a goal by Travis Warner early in the first quarter. The Sea Kings (22-7) tied the score with 1:13 left in the quarter, then took the lead midway through the second period. Harvard-Westlake's Juan Delgadillo had a chance to even the score again, but his shot shortly before halftime went right to the goalie. Harvard-Westlake responded to a fourth-quarter Corona del Mar goal by scoring one of its own a minute later. Less than a minute after Brooks Cook brought the Wolverines back within one, Harvard-Westlake drew a six-on-five advantage, but Warner's shot hit the crossbar. Shot location was a problem for the Wolverines throughout the game as they routinely fired the ball directly at the goalkeeper. Delgadillo's shots in the closing seconds were a perfect example: His shot from the corner of the goal was blocked by the goalkeeper, and the rebound rebound (rē´bownd), n/v 1. a recovery from illness. n 2. an outbreak of fresh reflex activity after withdrawal of a stimulus rebound adjective shot went over the goal. ``We had good shot selection,'' Corso said. ``But we didn't have good execution.
