Thorn in Marion's side
Carbondale's Mary Thorn converted a late penalty kick to lift the Terriers 2-1 over Marion in a South Seven girls soccer clash at the Superblock. Thorn missed and rebounded in the first kick but sealed the win with a second try in the 72nd minute as Allison Davis and Latisha Reach had scored earlier. Marion, 8-6 overall, 2-8 in league, pressured with the wind but managed just seven shots on goal. Coach Mike Intravaia cited ball control issues as the main problem.
