(June 6, 2012) - These girls are Road Warriors! The Broad Run and Loudoun County high school girls soccer teams advanced to their respective VHSL state tournament semifinals with big quarterfinal wins Tuesday.

Broad Run (14-4-5) shocked highly-ranked Kellam (ranked No. 10 in the country by ESPN HS), 2-1, in the AAA state quarterfinals and Loudoun County (17-4-2) rolled over Tabb, 5-0, in the AA state quareterfinals.


Broad Run will face Deep Run, a 3-2 winner over Stone Bridge, in Friday's 8 p.m. state semifinal at Westfield High School. Cosby and Cox face each other in the other semifinal at 6 p.m.
Loudoun County's offense (picture vs. Woodgrove) was
flying high on Tuesday at Tabb with five goals

Loudoun County will face Jefferson Forest, a 3-0 winner over Salem in a noon semifinal at Radford University. Woodgrove faces Blacksburg in the other semifinal at 10 a.m.


Kellam went ahead 1-0 Tuesday in the 19th minute, but the Spartans, with a penchant for comebacks this season, pulled even four minutes later on senior Darbie Kelley's free kick. Broad Run took the lead three minutes after the break on a goal by frehsman Steph Stahl. (Read more from 757Teamz.com).

For Loudoun County there was much less drama as the Raiders scored less than four minutes into the contest and led 3-0 midway through the first half. Loudoun County is angling for another shot at Dulles District and Region II champion Woodgrove, the only team to defeat the Raiders this season.

Emily Littell kicked off the scoring on an assist from Shauna Kain and six minutes later the roles were reversed as Kain scored from Littell. Jessica Ku made it 3-0. Littell scored a second and Allison Littell finished the scoring for County.

Kelsey Slack earned the shutout in goal for the Raiders. (Read more from the Daily Press).
