PKs: Cosby has inserted SR forward Becca Wann in at keeper
After 100 minutes of play ... we do not have a winner yet! Valley and Cosby headed to Penalty Kicks
98th minute: 2 to play ... still with Valley applying all the pressure as Cosby has just one forward and is settled in defensively, Cosby has given up 3 free kicks in the last 3 minutes
95th minute: Switching sides for a final 5 minutes of Golden Goal
92nd minute: Manning's cross sails through the box but nobody near to flag it down
We are headed to Golden Goal or Sudden Death ... OK the VHSL being Politically Correct calls it Sudden Victory ... but you know what I mean! They will play 10 minutes (switching sides after 5 minutes) and a goal -- the Golden Goal in soccer teams - will end it. If not ... PKs will beckon.

updates from Radford: Broad Run girls soccer wins 3-0, Potomac Falls baseball wins 10-3 ... both advance to state finals Sat.!
