Monday, May 15 -- The Rockbridge County High School girls soccer team collected a 3-1 victory over Broadway in a Valley District match in Lexington.
Madelyn Jones scored one goal and set up the other two as the Wildcats (5-10 overall, 2-6 Valley) completed a season sweep of the Gobblers (0-15-1, 0-8).
Eleanor Dare put RC in front in the 10th minute, delivering a well-placed shot from near the penalty spot after Jones made a run into the 18-yard box and provided the cross.
Rylie Garrison equalized for Broadway from a corner kick in the 34th minute, and the teams headed into halftime level at 1-1.
But the Wildcats dominated the second stanza, outshooting the Gobblers 13-1 and holding a 6-0 advantage in corner kicks after the break. RC was rewarded on the scoreboard just over six minutes into the period, when Jones' chip pass played in Sophie Vaught for a breakaway finish.
Jones grabbed a goal of her own midway through the half, picking up a loose ball inside the penalty area and burying a 15-yard strike just under the crossbar.
For the match, RC produced a 22-9 edge in shots and an 8-4 margin in corners. Lily Brown made eight saves in goal for Broadway, while Sophia Perlozzo recorded four stops for the Wildcats.
Prior to kickoff, RC honored its four seniors: Dare, Abby Hickman, Maliyah Hickling and Ali Sanders.
The Wildcats will wrap up the regular season with a 5:30 p.m. home match against James River on Wednesday.
