She showed off her close-in foot skills, her physicality, and played very unselfishly.” The victory improved the Lady Tigers to 11-1 overall, and a perfect 6-0 in Region 7-AAA play.

Tigers goalkeeper Josiah Upshaw faced heavy pressure throughout the contest and responded with an outstanding 20-save performance to preserve the victory.

Our goal is to finish this season strong to hopefully build for next year.” The win improved the Tigers to 1-10 overall, and 1-5 in Region 7-AAA play.
