Softball Round-up May 13: Briar Woods Wraps up Title; Broad Run, Valley Win Big; Potomac Falls Edges Heritage; SB Nipped by McLean

(May 14, 2010) - Broad Run High School, needing to win Thursday and have Park View knock off Briar Woods, in order to hold out hope for a share of the AA Dulles District title, did their end of the bargain with a 10-0 win over Freedom but the Falcons jumped on the Patriots early and cruised to an 8-1 win to wrap up the school's first ever district softball regular-season crown.

In AAA Liberty District play, Stone Bridge fell to McLean, 2-0; and in non-district play, Loudoun Valley sophomores Allie Reid and Kelsey Richardson combined to no-hit Dominion, 16-0, and Potomac Falls beat Heritage, 5-3.
