Half a game.
A win on board one would have given us the match.
Slav produced a draw against a considerably higher-rated player.
A moral victory.
Northside gave them a very good fight. They got no favors from our team in advancing their ambitions.
It came down to half a game. That's all. It was literally that close.
But just out of reach.
Mustangs, I'm so proud of you! A really tough fight and very close match down to the final minutes against a higher seed. Remember, plenty of teams have bounced back from a first day loss to finish very strong -- a couple years ago Niles North even took a Top 3 place after an early round loss! Northside can do the same this year. -Coach Caveney
