"Be excited now," Bainbridge head coach Mark Nowak said, "but as soon as we walk out of the stadium, there's one more job to do."

Sehome went ahead in the seventh minute, taking advantage of a corner kick. The Spartans lost Kevin Schoeder at the far post and the junior defender beat Harrington with a header, putting the Mariners up 1-0.

"That's what happens on these big stages is these jitters come out," Nowak said, "and we don't play the game that we usually do."

Bainbridge trailed until the 37th minute when senior Blake Moyer sent a cross from the left side of the field to Hauge, who beat Sehome's goalkeeper with a perfectly-placed header, knotting the score 1-1. Not bad considering Hauge is a standout central defender for the Spartans. He saw a chance to make a run after Bainbridge gathered control at midfield and made his shot count.
