“Not much changed,” said Sisters coach Rob Jensen, referring to the difference between the first and second halves. “We had a lot of great opportunities in the first half. … The second half is really where good teams are going to separate themselves.”

In the 52nd minute, Minam Craven assisted Sundstrom’s first score, which was followed two minutes later by an Andreas Pedersen goal, also assisted by Craven. And in the 61st minute, Sundstro worked his way up the right side before netting his second and final score.

The Outlaws, who improved to 7-0 in Sky-Em play and 8-2 overall, can record a fourth straight conference title with a win at Junction City on Thursday.

“It kind of seures a dynasty in league play,” Jensen said. “It takes a little pressure off, I guess, so we can really start preparing ourselves for playoffs and gear up for that. It’d be nice to be able to concentrate on us and move forward that way.”
