Weekend Roundup: Vaughn's late goal lifts Norwayne past Northwestern
Saturday, Sept. 17
GIRLS' SOCCER
Norwayne 4, Northwestern 3
In a matchup between two of the top teams in the WCAL, the Huskies stormed out of the gates, scoring twice in the first five minutes on a pair of Taelyn Lambert goals.
However, the Bobcats offense could not be held off forever. Norwayne eventually took a 3-2 lead goals by Maria Rickett, Madicyn Rupp and Shelby Vaughn before Florida Blake tied it up for the Huskies.
A draw would have been a worthy result, but Vaughn had no interest. She scored the go-ahead goal at 28-minute mark of the second half and the Bobcats held off Northwestern's charge in the final minutes.
