Loudoun Valley 2, Briar Woods 1
The Skinny:
Briar Woods scored its lone run with two outs in the bottom of the seventh but stranded the tying run at second base in a 2-1 loss to Loudoun Valley Wednesday night in Ashburn. The Falcons, who left nine runners on base for the evening, saw their school-record seven-game winning streak come to an end and fell to 9-2 on the season. Both losses have come to the Vikings by just one run.

The squads battled through two scoreless innings before Loudoun Valley scored both of its runs in the top of the third. With one out, Allie Reid singled and attempted to score from first on a long double by Shelby Wassman. However, Falcon junior centerfielder Alex Fierszt teamed up with senior shortstop Holly Dominguez for a perfect relay, with junior catcher Jillian Olson applying the tag to nail Reid several feet in front of the plate for the second out.

Karli Johnson followed with another double to plate Wassman with the game's first run, and Christina Haney singled to score courtesy runner Katherine Sholl to give the Vikings a 2-0 cushion. The Falcons stranded a runner in both the first and second innings and threatened again in the third when Dominguez singled and sophomore Macy Jones walked, but Viking starter Kelsey Richardson induced a fielder's choice for the final out.

Briar Woods had another strong scoring chance in the fourth when Jillian Olson singled with one out and junior Kristina Karagiorgis followed by reaching on an error. Senior Hayley Olson moved both runners up with a sacrifice bunt, but Richardson induced a comebacker to the circle to end the threat. Jones hit a two-out single in the fifth but a flyout to deep right closed out that inning. In the sixth, junior Kasey Ball led off with a single and sophomore pinch-runner Hope Vivian moved to second on a sacrifice by Jillian Olson. Reid came on in relief for the Vikings and got a strikeout and ground out to end the inning.

The Falcons finally got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the seventh. Fierszt opened the inning with a single and advanced to second on a sacrifice by Dominguez. After a pop up, Jones smacked a single to plate Fierszt to make it a 2-1 game, with Jones advancing to second on the throw home. Senior Kate Fowler then sent a liner to third, but Haney snared the ball out of the air over her head. The ball momentarily popped out of Haney's glove, but she alertly secured it with both hands to end the game. Jones continued her torrid hitting with a 3-for-3 effort at the plate. She also scattered three singles, struck out eight and walked one in four innings of relief. Fowler took the loss, allowing two runs on five hits in three innings.

The Falcons return to action Friday when they visit Potomac Falls in a key Dulles District game at 6 p.m.

Nick Lowrey was solid in goal helping pick up the win. With the win the Bulldogs move to 9-0 on the season and 4-0 in District play. Broad Run possessed the ball for the majority of the second half, trailing 2-0, but got within one in the 68th minute on a Tom Foster goal off a Danny Reategui corner kick.

Stone Bridge 4, Broad Run 2
The Skinny: In the battle of Ashburn last night, the Stone Bridge's girls soccer team came out as the winner on the field. The Bulldogs scored the first two goals and the last two goals of the game to beat Broad Run 4-2. Within the first five minutes of the game Stone Bridge was on the board when freshman Murielle Tiernan received a pass from senior Jennifer Skogerboe and took a shot just inside the 18 to hit the far side net. Three minutes later, Tiernan passed the ball across the goal mouth and Skogerboe slide in to put the ball in for another Bulldogs' goal. Broad Run scored later in the first half on a goal by Whitney Church for a 2-1 halftime score. Midway through the second half, Broad Run scored with Dani Dangremond doing the honors to tie up the game. However, with 15 minutes left in the game, freshman Ashley Herndon pressured the goalkeeper as she received a pass from one of her defenders. Herndon was able to win the ball and put it in the goal to put the Bulldogs ahead. Tiernan scored the final goal of the night with 5 minutes left to play. This time she took a pass from Herndon and took the same shot as her first goal to finalize the Bulldogs' win. Stone Bridge's record is now 6-0-2 overall and 3-0 in the Liberty District.
