We were really motivated, we came out hard and we did what we had to do. It was a great way to finish off the season.” The Mustangs were in control of the final from the opening tip-off, bolting out to a commanding 22-2 lead. Coach Dino Gini said his troops worked hard all season. “This group of players made it so satisfying because they all bought into the system. We lost seven players from last year’s team, so for these girls to come out and perform the way they did is tremendous. When you’re No. 1 you have the bull’s-eye on you, and the girls really met the challenge.” Laura Gini paced the Mustangs with 23, including seven from beyond the arc.
