The Cathedral girls also came back from a second-half deficit to tie the score late, but their penalty kick shootout wasn’t as successful as they boys.

Franklin County won the penalty shootout 2-1.

Cathedral was down 2-0 at halftime, but came back to tie the score in the second half thanks to goals by Maddie Kirkwood and Lily Hamezopolous.

However, the goal-scoring touch deserted the Lady Wave in the shootout, as Taylor White was the only Cathedral player to ripple the net in five chances.

Cathedral fell to 2-2 overall and 1-1 in district.
