UPDATE: NB girls soccer to play for state berth

Brad O'Neil — Wed, 18 Oct 2017 21:12:41 +0000

Junior Sadie Harper (background) plays a pass releasing freshman Khyah Harper (foreground) on a breakaway past a Hermantown defender. The sisters accounted for 13 goals in the first two games of the sectional tournament.

UPDATE: The North Branch girls soccer team won its Section 7A semifinal game at Princeton 4-1 on Tuesday night. The Vikings will meet Cloquet in the championship game at Chisago Lakes High School Thursday beginning at 7 p.m. The Vikings are reigning Section 7A champions.

The following appeared in the most recent print edition, which went to press before the Vikings played Princeton:

The Vikings had little trouble advancing through the first two rounds of the Section 7A playoffs.

Having earned the No. 3 seed in the 17-team section after finishing the regular season 11-3-1, the Vikings thrashed No. 14 Proctor 8-0 in the round of 16 Oct. 12, then notched the same total in dispatching No. 6 Hermantown 8-2 in the quarterfinals Oct. 14.

The Harper sisters, junior Sadie and freshman Khyah, were up to their usual form. Both girls scored hat-tricks in each of the two games, with Sadie adding a fourth tally in the quarterfinal match.

Senior Nicole Roman and junior Lauren Schoon added goals against Proctor. Senior Savannah Linkert was the non-Harper scorer against Hermantown.

Defender Lauren Schoon (5) clears the ball upfield.

Across the two games, Sadie, Khyah and Linkert accounted for three assists each. Schoon, senior Keeley Ertl and, most surprisingly, senior goalkeeper Claudia Anderson also tallied assists.

Anderson played all 80 minutes in both matches and allowed only two goals while making 19 saves.
