And the Devils were behind 1-0.
Using almost all of the available time to take their first lead, the Devils cashed in at the 89 minute mark to defeat Green River 2-1 on Wednesday September 20

Ella Willardson scored on a
Delaney McNett assist with just second left to pull out the road win and give LCC three big points in the race to defend their West Region championship.

Rhyli Grim's assist got the Devils even.
