The update says there was little between the sides early before East Valley went ahead and later had to play with 10 men for much of the contest after a red card.
That mix matters. Pullman may have had more of the ball after the break, but the final was not one-way traffic. It appears to have been a game won through composure rather than control from start to finish.
The report says Shulenberger equalised early in the second half from a direct free-kick after an East Valley handling offence outside the area, then struck again after breaking clear in the 62nd minute.
Two goals in a final usually define the story. In this case, they also fit the wider picture. Pullman appear to have leaned on a player capable of turning long spells of pressure into a result, which is often the difference between a good team and a postseason team.
Comebacks do not guarantee another trophy, but they do travel well. A side that can absorb pressure, survive momentum swings and still find the key moment is dangerous in knockout football.
The next storyline is simple: can Pullman carry this resilience into State, where margins tighten and one clinical stretch can decide everything?
