IN SHORT

The Colonial girls scored the first and final goals Monday afternoon on the road and played St. Huberts to a 2-2 tie. Despite the knotted score, the teams chose against playing an overtime period.

Plymouth Whitemarsh took an early lead when a ninth minute free kick by Kerri-Anne Ciesielka found the back of the net.
