J.P. Graham and his Cedar Rapids Washington boys soccer team remembered what cost them in an earlier loss this season to Cedar Falls.
"We gave the a couple of goals on dead ball situations," Graham said of his team's 3-2 loss to the Tigers during the regular season. "We worked on it for two weeks and it showed today. We were a lot more comfortable out there today."
