Senior forward Ashley Marks scored a goal in each half and St. Pius once again played airtight defense in defeating Springfield Catholic 4-0 Friday (May 31) in the semifinals of the Class 1 girls state soccer tournament in Blue Springs.
Kirsten Nulsen and Haylee Eastridge also scored for the Lancers, who improved to 23-3 and advanced to the championship game, to be played at noon on Saturday (June 1) at Blue Springs South High School.
The Lancers will play the winner of the Duchesne-O’Hara semifinal, which followed the St. Pius game.
