MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – After allowing just one goal this postseason up until the Class AA state tournament, the East Hamilton girls’ soccer team’s inability to get going offensively ended its season in the final eight.
A strong tactical attack for Nolensville was on display as the Lady Knights scored twice in each half of their 4-0 quarterfinal victory Wednesday at the Richard Siegel Soccer Complex.
East Hamilton junior Darci Zeh made eight saves, but the Lady Hurricanes were outshot 14-0.
“Nolensville has a lot of threats offensively, and they really put forth some quality finishes tonight,” East Hamilton coach Carrie Hill said. “We still had energy at halftime being down 2-0, but they created more opportunities and we just couldn’t generate a lot of offense.”
Malia Drumeller played a lead pass ahead in the second half, but a diving keeper kept Tenley Yates from possibly scoring on the play. Getting down through the middle of the defense was a challenge for the Lady Hurricanes (12-9-2).
