On Friday night,
Marriotts Ridge girls soccer team upset
Glenelg 2-0, ranked 17th in last week's
DigitalSports Top 20 Metro Poll, in its home opener.
The Mustangs (1-0) scored both goals in the first half and played tough defense to hold off the Gladiators. Maxine Brewer broke
away from the defense, taking Glenelg keeper Brooke Carey one-on-one for the score.
Alex Price
followed up with another goal a short time later, scoring off her own her direct
kick. Mustangs' goalie Sam Olson stopped six shots in the victory.
