Harlan County advanced to the finals of the 50th District Tournament with a 1-0 win over Bell County on Monday at Middlesboro.
Victoria Day scored the only goal on an assist from Callie Smith.
“We faced a lot of injuries tonight that put us in a hard spot. I’m very proud of our girls for stepping up and playing in positions they aren’t used to,” Harlan County coach Hannah Pittman said. “Victoria Day was huge for us, scoring our only goal of the night and also making several huge saves in goal. Willow Peace made a lot of critical plays for us in goal as well before facing a hard collision that took her out of the game.”
