South Riding (May 12, 2010) - It was a historic night for Freedom High School as the girls lacrosse team, hosting its first ever playoff game, earned the Eagles first ever playoff win with a 10-9 victory over Dominion in the AA Dulles District quarterfinals.

In a game played two days early due to Freedom hosting the two-day Dulles District track and field meet which starts Wednesday, the Eagles jumped out to a 6-4 halftime lead behind five goals from Amber Kim.

In the second half, Freedom scored the first four goals to take what appeared to be a commanding 10-4 lead but Dominion chipped away and two goals in 26 seconds left the Titans down by two, 10-8, with 4:08 to play. Dominion made it a one-goal game with just 1:28 to go and won the draw but the Eagle defense forced a turnover and they were able to run the clock out and finally celebrate a playoff win.

Megan Glock had two goals for Freedom as well as three interceptions.

Dominion was led by six goals from Nikki Carmack.

The two teams tied, 13-13, in the regular season.

Freedom at 9-4-1 has equaled all the wins for the school in the first four seasons of play, according to laxpower.com, as the team is credited as going 2-10 in 2009, 0-11 in 2008, 4-10 in 2007 and 3-8 in 2006.

Next up for the Eagles is a semifinl match-up, possibly against top seed George Mason, next week.
