<p class="text-gray-700">Liam Schulz's first goal was a sight to see. He was sprinting through a sea of defenders and somehow got his shot off in the midst of a few checks. Then, in the final minute of the game, he got to the middle of the field again and slipped another shot by the Palo Verde goalie to make it a two-goal game. However, the Crusaders then ran out of time.</p>
