The Falcons led throughout the way before pulling away in the fourth quarter.

"I think it's a team effort," Abbey Kimball said, "I wouldn't be where I am to get the opportunities that I do without them. Our team chemistry puts everyone in a good position."

Head coach Jill VanderEnde has helped lead her alma mater to postseason success that the program hasn't seen for decades.

"It has been a long time since West Catholic has even been able to compete in a regional finals, so we are really excited about the opportunity," VanderEnde added.
