Early goal pushes Cougars to victory
By DAN SPEARS / Staff Writer
SHENANDOAH JUNCTION, W.Va. - The Jefferson girls soccer team took a one-goal lead over Martinsburg just seven minutes into Tuesday night's in the W.Va. Class AAA Region II Section 1 final.
About a minute later, the game - for all intents and purposes - was over.
Martinsburg's Sara Miller hit a shot off the crossbar, and the Cougars grabbed momentum from there on its way to a 2-0 victory and a spot in Saturday's region championship against top-ranked Morgantown.
"That was important. Funny things can happen in this game," Jefferson coach Tammy Miller said. "Martinsburg sort of got a long face after that. I knew we were one up right there."
Jefferson (13-1-3) got its goal from Ellen Brosh off a feed from Lindsay Edwards. Brosh shot from 18 yards over the top of Martinsburg keeper Toccara Skye.
