Saturday, the Penns Valley girls soccer team went toe-to-toe with Lewisburg in a defensive battle that would go into overtime.

In the end, the Rams would fall 1-0 in the overtime period after battling hard throughout.

Today was one of the strange moments in coaching where we lost but based on our performance it feels like a win. Lewisburg is such a strong team who lost in overtime of the state finals last year so we knew today was going to be tough. But our girls responded and put in a great performance. I’m so proud and impressed with the commitment, work rate, and organization that we saw from our group,” said Penns Valley coach Andrew Beverly. “In the end, we were a couple of lucky breaks away from pulling off a big upset. Instead, we fell to an unfortunate free kick in overtime. The girls have been steadily improving as our season has progressed and we hope to keep it all going next week.”

Lewisburg got the goal from Amelia Kiepke at 83:15.

Lewisburg led in shots on goal by an 18-6 margin.
