Monday’s field hockey game between Marriotts Ridge and Glenelg started and ended the same way — with a Sophia Baxter goal.

The Marriotts Ridge sophomore scored two goals, including the game-winner in overtime, to lead the Mustangs to a 3-2 victory over host Glenelg.

After Baxter’s goal midway through the first quarter, Glenelg scored twice in the third quarter to take a 2-1 lead. Marriotts Ridge’s Maisy Clevenger then tied the score in the fourth period to send the game to overtime.

Glenelg had a penalty corner early in the first overtime, but the Gladiators were unable to convert. Baxter went on to score from about 10 yards out with two minutes remaining in the overtime period.

Marriotts Ridge first-year head coach Molly Milani earned her first victory over her alma mater, where she also coached the junior varsity team in 2019.

The win is similar to Marriotts Ridge’s triumph in the 2019 MPSSAA Class 2A South Region II semifinals, when then-senior Kayla Brusco’s goal in the second overtime period advanced the soon-to-be state-champion Mustangs to the next round.
