Highlanders to face Panthers

Floyd Central and Corydon advanced to the girls' Sectional 28 final after victories over Providence and Silver Creek respectively.

The Highlanders scored early in each half to down the Pioneers 2-0. The first was scored by Lauren Haley after just three and a half minutes of action, with the second coming two and a half minutes after the break when Jenny Miller fired home following a corner.

In the first semi-final, Corydon proved too good for Silver Creek in a 4-0 win. The Panthers will now take on Floyd Central on its own patch on Monday (October 19) at 6 p.m., in what will be a huge uphill battle to overturn the Highlanders, going for its fourth straight sectional championship.
