It wasn’t easy.” Crusaders coach Shaun Nechvatal said “I think there were some nerves that played into it for sure. We’re a pretty young team. “St. Joe’s obviously is a battle-tested team, all year. I think it was a big hole to start digging ourselves out of. But the girls competed right from the get go. They didn’t back down.
