Well... our family soccer star, Mary Meyer won the state semi-final game tonight. Against the odds, Summit beat Middletown Bishop Fenwick 3-2 in overtime. Fenwick was a team loaded with 11 senior starters. Summit has one senior starter (the rest are underclassmen). What an incredibly exciting game! Summit led 2-0 early in the 2nd half, but Fenwick wasn't going down without a fight. They tied the game at 2-2 and it stayed that way until the end of regulation play. In the 15 minute overtime period, Summit pumped in the golden goal for the sudden death victory. The crowd went WILD! Mary's dad, Kerry was just a little bit excited. Most of you know Kerry is bit high strung. I don't remember the last time I saw him so happy. What a neat evening it was!
Mary's Summit Country Day Silver Knights play for the Ohio state championship on Saturday at noon. The game takes place in the Columbus Crew soccer stadium. The Columbus Crew is the professional soccer team in Ohio.
We'll be there cheering the team to its first ever state championship.
We are all very proud of you Mary!
