Goalkeeper Sean Carr totaled 11 saves and six steals.

"We were really fired up for that game," Bull said. "We stuck it to them. We had an assist on just about every goal. We were sharing the ball. They couldn't handle our speed. That's our strength."
Host Ceres High posted a 13-6 win against Central Catholic on Wednesday.

"Central Catholic is the most physical team in the league," Bull said.
