'' Canyons controlled most of the play throughout the game, putting 18 shots on goal. Until the shootout, Gregg made two saves. The Cougars continually came up short on scoring chances. But when in the shootout, Lindsay Moser, Katie Baca, Gregg and Passafiume came through. ``I don't think the sophomores who are going to be leaving (after this year) realize what they've done,'' COC coach Phil Marcellin said. ``It's monumental to think we could start this team and go one game below .500 last year. They worked so hard and came back strong this year and they should be proud.'' Next up is the third round against the winner of Tuesday night's game between Pasadena and undefeated Cypress, the defending state champion. Should Pasadena score the upset, it would face the Cougars at COC on Friday. If Cypress wins, it would stay home to play COC.
