  Ridzwan, named Best Goalkeeper of the tournament, was again at his element as he parried away UniKL's ninth penalty corner in the 66th minute.
  "It was a bruising final as my players gave their all and fought for every ball. It is also a historic moment for the school, as we celebrate our second double in the row, and third consecutive Milo Cup title," said SSTMI coach Wan Roslan Wan Rahman.
