WPIAL / PIAA Girls High School Soccer Daily Report (Sept 10): A day later, Peters Township, Mt. Lebanon battle to 1-1 draw

It was a busier than usual Thursday slate for High School Girls soccer in the District.

In a marquee South Hills clash to headline Thursday night’s slate, defending section champion Peters Township and Mt. Lebanon battled to a 1-1 draw in their Section 2-4A opener.

Scarlett Pryor found the back of the net for Mt. Lebanon (3-0-1, 0-0-1), while Ohio State commit Taylor McCullough provided the goal for Peters Township (2-0-1, 0-0-1).

With no regular-season overtime to settle the score, the rivals shared the points—a result that signals another fiercely competitive, tight race ahead in Section 2 after Peters took the section crown a year ago.
