In addition to some timely scoring, the Mustangs got a big contribution in a key moment from freshman goalkeeper Logan Langer.

Breck coach George Stuempfig put his arm around freshman goalkeeper Logan Langer, gave him a little pep talk and sent him onto the field to face what was easily the most pressure-filled situation Langer has encountered in his young soccer career.

Langer was up to the task. He took his coach's advice, guessed left, dived and knocked away a penalty kick by Blake's Keegan James to preserve a 2-1 lead, igniting a fire which guided the Mustangs to a 4-1 victory on the field of their most fierce rival on Thursday night.

It was a little bit of payback for Breck, ranked No. 1 in the Class 1A coaches’ poll, which lost 3-2 to Blake in last fall’s Class 1A, Section 5 championship match. The Bears (5-1-1, 4-1-0), meanwhile, will get a chance to even the score with a game at Breck (7-0-1, 3-0-0) on Oct. 3.
