Highlanders drop WACC match
Piedmont High School’s girls soccer team dropped a 2-0 match at Castro Valley on Jan. 13. The Highlanders are now 4-3-2, 0-1-1 in the West Alameda County Conference on the year.
The Trojans got an early goal to go up 1-0. Castro Valley marked Piedmont’s Miranda Liu with Addy Wilhelm most of the night. And when the Trojans scored early in the second half to go up 2-0, it allowed them to play defensive late in the game.
Mia Kovacs and Erikka Flores had the goals for Castro Valley. Kovacs added an assist.
The Highlanders had an opportunity in the 70th minute, when Stephanie Lee got a touch on a ball with her head as it headed toward the right post but goalkeeper Cassidy Berg made the save.
The Trojans are now 4-4-1, 1-1 on the season. Piedmont is next scheduled to play at home against Alameda on Jan. 16 and will host San Leandro on Jan. 20.
