I think this one might not be the best example to use. One of the arguments for why she was able to strike these guys out is that it was an exhibition match. In non-league play, no one gives 100%.
Also, the boys soccer team wasn't a high school team:
This boys team was literally training for the MLS. So top trainers, coaches, etc. And most likely playing their hardest.
How old were they?
So, this definitely tracks. An MLS dev team went balls-to-the-wall against a pro women's team who were definitely not giving 100%.
