Toyota Rattler Stadium in San Marcos has been very good to the Champion girls soccer team this year.
After winning a first-round playoff match there against a very good Georgetown team, the Lady Chargers returned to the stadium on Friday for a third-round match against another solid team in Liberty Hill – and won again.
In both matches, Champion didn’t give up a goal and won there on Friday, 2-0, after beating Georgetown, 1-0.
Champion improves to 18-3-3 overall and advances to the regional tournament this weekend in Corpus Christi starting Friday.
The Lady Chargers face McAllen Friday at 4:30 p.m. at Cabaniss Field.
Statistically, Liberty Hill played the Chargers well and won some statistical categories except the one that matters most, the scoreboard.
The Lady Panthers had more shots on goal, 9-5, outshot the Chargers, 12-10, and took more corners than Champion, 4-3, but didn’t have anything to show for it.
Mack Arendall scored both Champion goals in Friday’s match, one in each half. Arendall took a feed from Vivian Garza and knocked it in midway through the first half.
Early in the second half, Arendall converted again to make it 2-0 and that’s where it stayed.
Audrey Riordan was in goal and came up with 9 saves for the Lady Chargers team that still hasn’t given up a goal in the playoffs and has won all three matches by a combined score of 13-0.
