Saline Soccer Claims D1 District Title

The Saline girls’ soccer team claimed another D1 district title with a 4-0 win over Ann Arbor Huron Friday night.

The Hornets went on top early when Teagan Warden scored on a corner just over a minute into the game.

Less than a minute later Makena Means found to net to give the Hornets a quick 2-0 lead.

Sienna Snyder struck one home to make it 3-0 and Means followed with her second of the game to make the final 4-0.

Saline reached the finals by taking down AA Skyline 2-0.

The two teams battled to a pair of draws during the regular season, but it was the Hornets that came out on top when it counted most.

Nada Derneika knocked home a loose ball on a scramble in front of the net on a corner kick for a 1-0 lead.

The Hornets dominated with ball control for most of the match, but the game wasn’t decided until Snyder sent one home for a 2-0 lead which the Hornets held on to for the win.

Kaylee Mitzel was in net for both games for the Hornets and recorded her 15^th and 16^th shutouts of the season to help Saline improve its record to 17-0-2 on the season.

Saline advances to the D1 regionals at Dearborn to face Grosse Pointe South.
