Today in high school sports: Sept. 12, 2017

Everything you missed in high school sports — and isn’t elsewhere in the CDT — from Tuesday:

BEA’s Harris comes up big in scoreless tie

WINGATE Bald Eagle Area’s Charlee Harris was like a brick wall as her girls’ soccer team played to a 0-0 draw with Central on Tuesday.

Harris made 13 saves in goal.

“I have never seen a group of girls play harder for 100 minutes than I did tonight,” Lady Eagles coach Jared Moore said. “I told them it would be a defensive grinder and that we would have to make good on our opportunities. I thought we had some good chances and just couldn't get one in the net.

“Charlee Harris was great in goal. She made four or five key saves late in the game and in overtime to keep us in it.”

The Lady Scarlet Dragons’ Blair Miller saved all three of the shots she faced.

CCCA plays to tie

STATE COLLEGE Ashley Kersteter kept Centre County Christian Academy out of the loss column as the Lady Bulldogs finished in a 2-2 tie with Great Commission.

Trailing 2-1, Kersteter recorded a goal in the 71st minute to become the equalizer. Hannah Sides scored the other CCCA goal.

Noelle Bracken tallied both of the Lady Bears’ goals.

Cumberland Valley too much for Lady Little Lions

MECHANICSBURG Cumberland Valley’s Emily Mashinski recorded a hat trick for the Lady Eagles in a 5-0 shutout of State College.

Mashinski’s trio of goals came back-to-back-to-back within 10 minutes to open the second-half scoring. She also recorded an assist.

State College fell to 2-3 on the year and hosts Red Land on 4 p.m. Thursday.

BEA cruises past Central
