On the eve of election night, Quince Orchard was making a strong case for experience.
The 2007 Maryland 4A girls' soccer champion moved a step closer toward defending its title with a 1-0 double-overtime win over Whitman last night in the 4A West Region final, and it did so with the help of a player who made the difference in last year's title game.
Senior goalkeeper Amanda Whitney made a one-on-one save early in the second overtime to give the Cougars their game-winning opportunity.
Once Whitney cleared the ball, Julie Starnes passed to Ele Margelos, who sent a left-footed shot into the net. "If it wasn't for my goalkeeper making a clutch save, we wouldn't have won that game," Quince Orchard Coach Peg Keiller said by telephone. "There were a lot of chances down the stretch" for Whitman to score. . . .
In the 3A West Region, No. 3 Bethesda-Chevy Chase notched a 2-1 win over defending 3A champion Urbana, a team the Barons lost to in the region final last year on penalty kicks.
"Our seniors this year had a little extra energy tonight to not have Urbana end our season two years in a row," B-CC Coach Rob Kurtz said.
