Following a tough loss in the Colonial League quarterfinals earlier this month, the Saucon Valley Girls soccer team (10-9-0) lost to the Spartans of Southern Lehigh (15-6-2) in the PIAA District XI quarterfinal Wednesday at neutral Palisades Pirates Stadium.
The Panthers battled with intensity and determination, holding Salisbury to one goal in the first half. However, key stops and crips passes in the second half weren’t enough for a Panther goal, while Salisbury slipped in another two, bringing the final score to 3-0, Falcons.
