High School Sports: Cavaliers Stop Knights in Girls' Soccer

and finally made it onto the field Monday to finish a game from September with the Cavaliers winning the rescheduled matchup in two overtimes, 2-1.

Summerly Merson lifted a shot over the Century goalie with about 30 seconds left in the second overtime for the victory.

"If there was 30 seconds, I would be shocked," said South Carroll coach Andrew Isacco after the game when asked how much time was left when the goal was scored.

The two teams picked up from where the game was called on Sept. 14 due to lightning with 11 minutes left in the first half. With less than two minutes remaining in the half, Century’s Alyssa Malanik found the net to give the visitors the lead at the half.

With 16:41 left in the contest, South Carroll’s Kiley Graham knotted the score at 1-1. The score stood until Merson hit the game winner.

"It was tough. It was rescheduled about three or four times. You always want to play your rivals. It was tough for both sides. Hats off to them. They are a good team. They are tough. They came out and put us under a lot of pressure, got an early goal. We had to play back, but my kids haven’t given up all season and I didn’t think they would start now. It’s finally good to get a win. This is our third overtime game. We had a loss and a tie, especially coming against a good program like that. It feels good," said Isacco.

The Cavaliers have a busy week as they host Walkersville today and Manchester Valley on Wednesday and visit Winters Mill on Thursday.

"My defense played great probably the best game they played all season. The whole team played great," said Isacco

South Carroll improved to 2-3 in the county and 3-6 overall. Century evened their county record at 3-3 and 5-5 overall.
