Independence, founded in 2008 like Mira Monte, also won the first title in school history after beating Hanford 2-0 in the D-III final. "It means everything, it really does," said first year coach Jordan Schwora. "These kids since they were freshman were supposed to win this thing and for one reason or another it never got done but this year is the one."
