Going into the game, the Sequoits were in hopes of coming out with a win but knew they had to put up a fight since Prairie Ridge is usually a big contender for the state competition.
“We knew they were a strong team, especially after we played them last year,” senior Danielle Brose said.

With 20 minutes left in the first half, Prairie Ridge was able to move the ball through the Sequoits’ defense and score their first goal. Going into halftime, the Sequoits trailed Prairie Ridge 1-0.
