GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — In the last game of the regular season, Holland Christian girls soccer beat West Catholic to claim third place in the OK White.
The game started with a a goal from Holland Christian's Hadley Vander Bent just five minutes into the game. A few moments later, Erica Mulder got a handle on the ball after some chaos in front of the net and scored off of a header.
In the middle of the first, Kayla Cannon was awarded a penalty kick and sent it to the back of the net for their third goal of the game.
"We've been really focusing on the games were we get to play a team that we lost to before, tied before and I think we've really come up strong. We played Hamilton on Monday and beat them 4-0 after we lost to them the first time and then the first time (against West Catholic) was a tie so I think coming back and proving that we can do it and having the momentum and energy to work as a team just really pays off," said Kayla Cannon.
West Catholic also earned a goal thanks to a penalty kick from Claire Smith.
Neither team scored in the second half which gave the Maroons the 3-1 win and secured third place in the conference.
Girls soccer district begin on Tuesday, May 23rd.
