"South Lyon East is a much improved team," Brucker said. "John has put a great group of girls together that played very hard. Tonight was a good win not great. We tried some things that we worked on in practivce but didn't execute as I would have liked. We will continue to tinker with the line up throughout the season. I thought our midfield played exceptionally well and controlled the center of the field and we had yet another solid effort from our back line including Kiki."
