Girls Soccer - Lady Pilgrims Get 1st Round Sectional Win On Penalty Kicks

By Brent Corbett | Oct 5, 2023 9:36 AM

The Lady Rockies opened up the 2023 IHSAA Sectional with playing the Elkhart Lions. The Rockies are hosting this years tournament so it will be an advantage for the Rockies to know the field and how the surface plays. The Lady Rockies come out on a mission and went on attack mode early getting the early goal off the foot of Ella Young from the assist of Mo Hundt in the 16th minute of the match. The Lady Rockies would hold on to that lead till a late corner kick in the 36th minute just went by goalkeeper Lauren Kopetksi to tie the game and take the game at half. Kopetksi would end the night with 9 saves. The Lady Rockies would take the game to penalty kicks and would score on every chance they had while Elkhart missed the 1st kick which end up costing the Lions. The Lady Rockies at the beginning of the year where challenged by Coach King when asked who are we. Throughout the season the Lady Rockies have tried to find that answer and after Tuesdays night win they can finally answer that question. The adversity this group has gone through and the fight they had Tuesday night shows how much this team has grown. The Lady Rockies will take on the Concord Minutemen Thursday night in the second game of the Sectional. Match will start around 7:30 or when the first match is over with Goshen and Northridge. Winners of both matches will then play in the Sectional Championship on Saturday at 7pm.
