But from just what I saw, I knew that they didn&#39;t have the intensity it was going to take to win this game.&#39;&#39;<br> <br> In Saturday&#39;s other game, Chase Hodges put Savannah Christian (19-3) ahead, but Jordan Gilbert tied it for Aquinas (19-4-1) with just five minutes left in regulation.<br> <br> In overtime. Jacob Mullner dribbled down the left side of the field, looked to cross, then shot instead. The ball passed a converging group of Savannah Christian defenders and left goaltender Carson Britt frozen.<br> <br> ``It looked pretty bleak there,&#39;&#39; said Aquinas coach Kevin Kennedy. ``As the second half wore on, it looked like it was one of those games where you don&#39;t finish.&#39;&#39;
