D-II girls’ soccer tournament

No. 8 John Stark 2, No. 9 ConVal 1

Key players: John Stark – Bella Roy (assist), Arden Ulmer (2G)

Highlights: Roy sent in a perfect corner to Ulmer to tie the game at 1-all before Ulmer scored again in the second half, taking advantage of a penalty by ConVal in the 18-yard box for the game-winning goal to help the Generals advance to Sunday’s quarterfinal round.

Coach’s quote: “This as always was a team victory as the girls had to lock down a really talented team while mounting their own offense and they implemented every play and strategy we had practiced today. I think assistant coach Bill Nardino has brought something new to John Stark. He is adding a level of complexity to the girls game and they have taken to ideas with a passion.” – Stark’s Chris Pike

Records: John Stark 10-6-1; Con Val 8-8-1
