Flint Kearsley 1, Swartz Creek 0 (SO): Kearsley’s Bella Talaski got to play hero on both sides of the field to help the Hornets advance in districts.
After ending double overtime tied at 0-0, Kearsley and Swartz Creek remained tied at 2-2 following the final round of penalty kicks. Mia Granados and Taylor Canamore both netted one for Kearsley.
Talaski decided she was tired of having to make saves, so she shot a goal past the left side of Swartz Creek’s goalkeeper before making a diving stop on the ensuing Swartz Creek shot to seal the win for the Hornets.
Kearsley will face Bay City John Glenn next on May 27 at Bay City John Glenn High School.
