Wednesday night brought another action-packed slate of high school girls soccer across Western Pennsylvania, with several teams earning critical early-season section and non-conference statement wins.
Mother nature did make a late appearance, however, as lightning and scattered thunderstorms moved into parts of the region later in the evening. While most matches were able to go the distance, a few contests were cut short or suspended before full time—most notably a high-profile non-section battle between Upper St. Clair and Norwin that was locked in a 2-2 dead-heat when the weather rolled in.
Before the rain, we also had a fantastic moment on the collegiate stage featuring local talent!
