COMMERCE CITY — Few teams have been able to crack the formidable defensive facade the Dakota Ridge girls soccer team has erected this season, especially when the Eagles are able to score the first goal of any given game.

Mountain Vista, however, is not your typical offensive team.

The Golden Eagles rallied from an early deficit by scoring three goals in the second half, including the go-ahead and insurance tallies just 48 seconds apart, to post a 3-1 win in the Class 5A state championship match Wednesday night at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.

It was the first girls soccer title for Mountain Vista (17-0-2) since 2005 and fourth overall for coach Theresa Echtermeyer.

"This is all about these kids," Girls SoccerView slide show of 5A girls soccer state championship.View slide show of 4A girls soccer state championship.View slide show of 3A girls soccer state championship.Echtermeyer said. "I think this team, out of any team I've ever had, has had the most courage."

Dakota Ridge (16-2-2) took a 1-0 lead into halftime after Kelsey Loupee scored on a free kick from about 30 yards out.

The defensive-minded Eagles kept Mountain Vista at bay until sophomore Gabby Miranda finally broke through, launching a long-range blast that eluded Eagles goalie Haley Milhollan and tied the match at 1.

"Gabby has been a strong force for our team, and for her to pull that out totally brought our entire team's spirit up," Mountain Vista senior midfielder Bri Pugh said. "We finally were like, 'We actually have a chance to do this.' "

The match was angling toward overtime until Pugh, a University of Oregon recruit, took a lead pass and outraced a Dakota Ridge defender for her 11th goal of the season with 5:17 remaining.

Kortney Hix added an insurance goal less than a minute later.

Dakota Ridge 1 0 — 1
Mountain Vista 0 3 — 3

Goals — DR, Loupee (unassisted), 19th minute; MV, Miranda (unassisted), 56th minute; MV, Pugh (T. Smith), 85th minute; MV, Hix (Owens), 86th minute. Shots on goal — DR, 1-1—2; MV, 3-3—6. Saves — DR (Milhollan 4); MV (Cushing 1). Corner kicks — DR, 0-3—4; MV, 0-1—1. Fouls — DR, 3-3—6; MV, 4-3—7.

MVP

Bri Pugh, an Oregon recruit, was the most dangerous player on the field during the Class 5A title match. Pugh provided the go-ahead goal in the 85th minute to lift Mountain Vista to its first girls soccer state title since 2005.
