The Lady Pirates will conclude the regular season Saturday morning when they travel to Triton Central for a 10 AM match.
The JV Lady Pirates were also victorious in their final match of the season 1-0. Sara Brown scored the lone goal when she converted a direct kick from just outside the 18 yard box. Emily Lowe made two saves in the shutout win while Easley, Pacilio and Emma Porter took shots on goal. The final record for the JV squad is 1-3-5. Both teams played outstanding and controlled possession. It was good to see the team piecing runs together and stepping harder to 50/50 balls.
