A little later her opportunity came: she dashed into the masses of the opponents' force, and with one magnificent stroke swept the ball well onward towards the goal.
"Oh! how precious!" shouted the girls.

It had not occurred to the High School that there was a real possibility of their winning the match.

They had expected to make a gallant fight and be defeated, retiring with all the honors of war.
