Montgomery County will be well represented in the Maryland Girls’ High School Soccer semifinals later this week.
Winston Churchill and Montgomery Blair both advanced to the final four of the Class 4A state tournament.
The two schools punched their tickets to the semifinals with impressive victories in the state quarterfinals Friday.
Blair pulled off an improbable victory over Richard Montgomery. Trailing 3-0 with 21 minutes left in regulation, the Blazers stormed back with three goals to force overtime. In the extra period, Blair found the back of the net for the stunning win.
The Blazers’ victory kept their postseason run alive and earned them a semifinal meeting with Leonardtown on November 13 at 7:30 pm at Laurel High School.
Churchill continued its strong season with a 2-1 quarterfinal victory over Northwest. The undefeated Bulldogs (15-0-1) have been among the state’s top teams throughout the fall and will now turn their attention to a semifinal matchup against Severn Run on November 14 at 7:30 pm at North County High School.
The state championship games are scheduled for Nov. 19-21 at Loyola University in Baltimore.
