Soccer Playoffs. With the victory, the Lady Falcons advance to the Regional round for
a match against fifth-seeded Ben Franklin.

going, we started rolling, and they don't quit.”
The Saint Thomas Ladies set the tone early in the match getting a goal from
sophomore Brooke Balser with 25:20 still remaining in the first half. Junior Molly O’Krepki then scored a
second goal just minutes later alertly cashing in a shot by Balser that bounced off the right iron
kicking in the goal at the 22:50 mark. The Lady Falcons played solid defense the rest of the way
earning a commanding 2-0 lead at intermission.
Balser added a second goal mid-way through the second half working a
shot into the net at the 19:20 mark on an assist by senior Malia Cali.
“They mixed it up with where they were playing on the field,” Wittie said.
“We play a lot of man defense so once they kind of settled into that, than
we were able to get it back out to the attack.”
