SENECA FALLS – Valley Heights Christian Academy’s girls soccer team traveled the Seneca Falls Monday night to face the Finger Lakes Lady Tigers and brought home a 3-1 win over the undefeated host team.

Knowing before hand this playoff game was going to be a challenge, the Crusaders fought hard in the first half, holding Finger Lakes to no goals.

However, Finger Lakes was able to do the same to the VHCA.

In the second half, Briannah ended up with the ball near the 18-yard box. She then fired a shot into the far corner of the net, increasing the Crusaders’ lead to 2-0.

“Briannah really stepped up her game,” said Lady Crusaders’ head coach Eliza Gieger. “She was very aggressive and had one of her best games. Her shot couldn’t have been a more beautiful shot.”

Valley Heights started to get confident in a potential win, the momentum started to swing in favor of the Tigers due to a foul in the box called on the Lady Crusaders.
