Lady Panthers edge East Coweta in OT

The Starr’s Mill Lady Panthers soccer team escaped Sharpsburg Friday night with a 3-2 overtime win over East Coweta.

The only goal of the first half came in the 14th minute when Rachel Catlett sent a corner kick into the box for Jenna Currin to finish.

The Lady Panthers got the win on a long throw by Lauren Yoss that bounced around in the box before Currin
forced it home.

The team improved its record to 4-1-0 on the season and will travel Tuesday to Westminster.
