Coaches from both teams said the senior keeper was a major factor in Saugus' victory, despite a sore shoulder, which was hit hard in a collision nearly two weeks ago. ``When the game started, I thought I would hesitate a little,'' Berriz said. ``But then I got pumped up.'' --Feelin' better: Without starting goalkeeper Melissa Deckers, who was serving an automatic one-game suspension because of a red card, Hart defeated Burbank 3-0 Tuesday.

Forward Kristi Kirst was unavailable for the Saugus game and Scalercio wasn't with the team against Canyon. --Night moves: Canyon wants to push back its Friday afternoon home game against Saugus, scheduled for 3:15 p.m., so working parents and other fans can attend. The Cowboys face a Saugus team that should be riding the momentum of its victory over Valencia on Tuesday. ``I'm excited about that game,'' Canyon coach Lisa Rollo said. ``It will be a good test, to see what they do against Saugus.''
