Stone Bridge: Not the Start or Finish Bulldogs Softball and Girls Soccer were Looking For

Ashburn (June 6, 2012) - On paper it should have been a brilliant evening for Stone Bridge High School's softball and girls soccer teams as the two Northern Region champions hosted Central Region runner-ups in VHSL state quarterfinals Tuesday.

Things, however, didn't go exactly as planned for the two programs which came into the big night with just four combined defeats in 46 total contests.

For starters, the girls soccer game actually kicked off a few minutes early and by the time some Bulldog fans made their way into the stadium it was already 1-0 Deep Run with a shocking goal just 86 seconds into the contest. Over at the softball field, things were delayed with a late arrival of the Patrick Henry-Ashland squad and after the first pitch, Stone Bridge squandered a first inning opportunity that set the tone for the game.

Less than two hours later, it was all over as Patrick Henry (22-2) closed out a 4-0 shutout over Stone Bridge (24-3) softball, and then down on the soccer field, Ashley Herndon's late goal with 20 seconds left only made the final score a little more palatable, as the Bulldogs (16-3-2) fell to the Wildcats (19-3), 3-2.
