Endgame Knowledge

So I've been working hard on my endgame recently, and that can really be seen at the end of this game. Instead of promoting my pawn to a queen, I instead opt for a knight. This means that I will have to mate with a bishop and a knight, which is a heck of a lot harder than mating with a bishop and a queen or even a king and a queen. But I wanted to put some of the endgame knowledge I've acquired to use. The mate was difficult to achieve, but I'm happy I figured it out. My opponent (2000) has the black pieces and she played the Sicilian Defense.
