HIGH SCHOOL ROUNDUP: Abington girls soccer mounts big comeback against Middleboro
You know the old saying: the most dangerous lead in soccer is a three-goal lead.
Okay, maybe that's being hyperbolic, but no lead is safe against the Abington High girls soccer team.
The Green Wave rallied from a 4-1 halftime deficit to salvage a 5-5 draw against Middleboro on Monday. Ella Williamson scored a crucial penalty kick for the Green Wave to tie the game with under just three minutes to play.
