CLEVELAND, Tenn. – The match between Soddy-Daisy and Walker Valley wasn’t an all-or-nothing affair, but it was close.
Soddy-Daisy clinched at least a piece of the District 5-AAA girls’ soccer championship and secured a host role throughout the upcoming district tournament with a 1-0 victory over the host Lady Mustangs.
Summer Ghaffari scored from an Amy Rasmussen assist with 6:34 left to play.
There is still one district match for Soddy-Daisy to play – Thursday vs. East Hamilton – but the outcome won’t affect postseason standing for the Lady Trojans (10-2-1, 6-0).
“I told my girls all week that (this) was going to be a one-goal game, that somebody was going to win by a goal, but I did expect there to be more scoring,” Soddy-Daisy coach Moises Drumond said.
