2022 TSSAA Soccer MHEA @ Tipton Rosemark Academy

GIRLS SOCCER: TRA 4, MHEA 3 The contest between the Tipton-Rosemark Academy Lady Rebels and MHEA Lady Eagles on the turf of the TRA Soccer Field could be best described as physical. The 20 players occupying the pitch in front of the opposing goalies were pushing, bumping and jabbing throughout the 80 minutes. But the speed of the TRA strikers and the ball control of Lady Rebel midfielder Emma Pence was enough for a 4-3 victory over the Lady Eagles. TRA was ahead 3-1 after the first half. Pence assisted on two of those shots and added a goal of her own in the winning effort. Payton Biggs tallied two points for the Lady Rebels and Tori Davidson netted the other goal for TRA. Caroline Jones added an assist. TRA jumped ahead at the 28:49 mark of the game 1-0. MHEA tied the contest 25 seconds later. Lady Rebel goalie Zadie Reburn did stop 17 Lady Eagle shots throughout the contest. TRA took the lead before halftime with a goal at the 23:35 mark and before the horn with 3 minutes and 18 seconds left. The Lady Eagles came out blazing in the first minutes of the second half with a goal to make the score 3-2. TRA got some security minutes later with a penalty kick goal. That insurance paid off moments later when MHEA scored again to make the score 4-3. Reburn and the Lady Rebels shutdown the Lady Eagles the final 25 minutes to prevail for Head Coach Michael Pence. Pence and the Lady Rebels improved to 2-1 on the season.
