The Antelope Valley and playing what many considered a weak schedule didn't help. The Rebels also moved up from Division II to Division I. After beating the defending Division I champions, there is little left for doubters. ``We just put every critic to shame,'' senior goalkeeper Ian McClung said. ``This game puts to rest the notion that we excelled because of a weak schedule and wouldn't be able to compete with the big teams.'' Quartz Hill dominated the first period, missing on excellent chances, and appeared ready to break through. However, some halftime adjustments by No. 3 seed Millikan (24-3-4) seemed to frustrate the Rebels. ``We came out and played our game,'' Angelillo said. ``But they got us playing their game in the second half. We can't match up with them physically, so we have to use our athleticism.'' Millikan had most of the opportunities in the second half, the best coming with a few minutes left in the first 10-minute overtime. McClung dived to stop a shot by Millikan forward Agustin Nunez.

The Rams didn't know what to think about Quartz Hill heading into the game. The teams had no common opponents and never had played each other. ``They're a good team,'' said Millikan coach Rod Petkovic. ``Maybe not as good as some teams we've played this year, but they have a strong team and deserve to be in the final.'' |
