The Kearns Cougars weathered a defensive battle against the Hunter Wolverines for the 1-0 double overtime win. Despite a 3-7 record, Hunter pushed the 9-1 Cougars all the way to double overtime after neither team found a goal. Kearns’ Esmeralda Velazquez found Zaiah Menlove for the golden goal, avoiding penalty kicks and getting the Region 4 win. “Our strength is in our bond as a team. The girls go out and play every game for each other. We have strong players but they wouldn't be able to do anything without their teammates supporting them and helping them be their best,” said Kearns head coach Jennasee Robinson.
