Prep Report: Parker leads Golden Bears to overtime win over Yorktown

Shelbyville girls soccer produced its best finish in the Hoosier Heritage Conference standings since 1997 Saturday night with a 4-3 overtime victory over Yorktown.

The Golden Bears closed out the regular season with a 9-4-2 record and finished 4-3 against HHC opponents for a fourth-place finish – the best for the program since it won the HHC title in 1997.

Senior Sophie Parker scored two goals and had two assists on Senior Night at Shelbyville which also served as a Pink Out event to honor breast cancer survivors.

Parker was involved in all the scoring Saturday. She delivered a corner kick that was headed in goal by Ava Wilson early in the first half. Not long after, Parker deposited a shot in the net off a free kick to get her team off to a 2-0 lead.

Yorktown (9-5, 3-4 HHC) responded with a pair of goals by Macie Dowd and another by Chloe Mariotti to take a 3-2 lead at halftime.

Ten minutes into the second half, Parker set up Ella Johnson for the game-tying goal.

And just one minute into the first overtime period, Parker collected her 12th goal of the season which proved to be the game winner.

Shelbyville will begin its quest for a sectional title Thursday at Greenfield-Central against Class 3A, No. 16 East Central (13-2-1).
