The Dawgs' finishing was
on target early, with Whit

minutes of play.
The senior striker tucked
away a loose ball in the box
after a long throw-in from
Spencer Williams created a

almost immediately, forcing
Bulldog keeper Kevin Parks
into a close-range save with

Just seconds later,
Chamblee again broke for

penalty kick which they con

Chamblee's score awak

take control of the contest
midway through the half, cre
ating three near misses within
a two-minute span. But just as
Central began to get comfort

again broke loose to snatch a
goal against the run of play
and take a 2-1 lead with 19:20
left before the interval.

continued their domination,

frustrate the Bulldogs with

scoring two well-taken goals,
but were outmatched by Pius

the state in the first half
and couldn't claw back into
the game.
“We did some good
things," said North head coach
Erik Moore. “We fought them
to a standstill for most of the
Milton keeper but was
cleared off the line by a
defender.
With a minute left, junior
Linus Warendh’s pass found
Meisemann 20 yards from
goal.
The resulting shot forced
Milton’s keeper to make a
fine save that give up a last
second corner, but South was
unable to find the net and
trailed 1-0 at half.
Despite a more even sec
ond half, Milton still consis
tently found open attackers
in South’s defensive third.
Milton capitalized in the
second half. But every time
we scored they came right
back and answered.”
Pius put North under pres
sure form the start, grabbing a
3-0 lead with 17:23 left in the
first half. But North wasn’t
ready to fade yet and fought
back through Morgan Judy.
With 14:57 left in the first,
Judy latched on to a back
heeled pass and barreled into
the Pius penalty area before
slotting the ball past the keep
er. pulling the Lady Raiders

Yet Pius cut North's cele

with their fourth strike just

Lions then added a fifth four
minutes before the interval,
firing past inserted back-up
keeper Andrea Fay.
