"We put it all together today," WMC coach Bret Noordhoff said. "It was very sweet to take down the undefeated Tri-Unity Defenders to advance and play NorthPointe in the final.  Second place was great, but we really wanted to take the whole show on our court.  I think we played well today, but first would have been a lot more satisfying.  Hopefully, going into Districts hungry will play to our advantage"
