Class A, Sectional 44
Muncie Burris 1, Triton Central 1, 3-2 PKs
At Mendenhall Field at Triton Central Saturday night, Sarah Edmonds’ first-half goal nearly was enough to get Muncie Burris a third-straight sectional title.
But Bella Ball, off an assist from Vivian Blye, beat Muncie Burris goalkeeper Sydney Jackson just before time expired in regulation to send the match to overtime.
After two scoreless seven-minute overtime periods, the Owls and Tigers lined up for penalty kicks.
Triton Central (10-8) got PK conversions from Elaina Maurice and Ariel Walker but it was not enough to deny the Owls (10-3-1), who won the penalty-kick session, 3-2.
With the win, Muncie Burris will travel to Class A, No. 4 Park Tudor (12-4-1) Thursday for a regional semifinal match.
