The Cowboys won their first SOFAL title with a 13-6 overtime victory. Halton running back Michael Rochon provided the winning score, running 30 yards for a touchdown on the first play of overtime.

Freshman's savvy impresses coach Continued from page 32 assembled to identify players for the 2017 world junior championships, as well as future senior national team members. "It has given me a lot to work toward," she said. Bull will continue that work at Rutgers. Long says she is already among the fastest players in the Big East and sees where her dance training translates to field hockey. "Her play is so fluid and graceful," said the coach. More impressive, though, is Bull's ability to control the tempo of the game. "To have a freshman have that understanding of the game, as a coach, it's exciting," Long said. "That's where our program is going and the style of field hockey we're try- ing to get at Rutgers." Despite her impressive collegiate debut, Bull said there is still plenty of room for improvement in her game. At Rutgers, she undertook a strength program for the first time, lifting weights three times a week. "Individually, there's a lot of stuff I can work on but it's not just me individually. Our team is getting better each day," Bull said of the Scarlet Knights, who went from 5-13 in 2011 to 9-10 this season. "With the improvements the team has made, next year I think we can make the Big East championships." And who better than Bull to lead Rutgers to the big dance. -- Herb Garbutt can be followed on Twitter @Herbgarbutt
