"Our defense stepped up to the challenge and gave us crucial possession time to allow us to increase the score," said Young Harris head coach Katie Ziek. "It was a hard fought game and the girls fought the whole 60 minutes."

Kaylynn Roach added two goals for the Mountain Lions while Rachel Lepine, Alexia Audet, Katie McNutt, Kendra Parenteau and Taylor Lincoln each found the back of the net for Young Harris.

Young Harris controlled the match but the Bulldogs brought the score within a goal several times through the match, but the Mountain Lions always managed to always find an answer to stay ahead.
