Lady Devils Move on to Semi-Finals in Sectional

The Jeff Red Devils earned a spot in the Jeffersonville Sectional last night with a win over Christian Academy Indiana. The girls came out on fire! Freshman, Bekah Burgan sent a pass off to Senior Midfielder Brittany Searcy waiting at the top of the 18. Searcy lofted the Devils first goal, and her first of the year, past the CAI goalie a little over 7 minutes into the game, (just as her poor Mom went out to the parking lot to retrieve something from the car)! Great shot Searcy!

The next two points came from Burgan. At the 21:35 mark in the first half a foul was committed in the box by CAI, which gave the Devils a chance at a penalty kick! Burgan took the shot quickly to bring the score 2-0. Then with 4:44 left to the half, Burgan dribbled into the 18. The CAI goalie charged and with a little flick to the left, Burgan was able to dribble around the goalie, who could only watch as she dribbled it into the goal.

During the second half Jeff just wasn't able to find the net again, and allowed Ally Smith of CAI to score, ending the game 3-1. Great job girls! On to the Semi's!

Jeff will face Floyd Central tonight at 8. The Highlanders were able to shutout Corydon Central 5-0, to earn their spot in tonight's semi-final.

New Albany and Silver Creek will play in their semi-final also tonight at 6.
