After playing 80 minutes of scoreless soccer, Miami Springs’ Alyssa Deno broke up a defensive battle when she knocked one home from the left side four minutes into the first overtime to give Miami Springs a 1-0 victory over Goleman at Traz Powell Stadium.
Despite a pair of lopsided wins over Goleman by a combined 10-1 margin during the regular season, the Gators played Springs tough the entire game thanks to some terrific goalkeeping from Annmarie Rodriguez, who was peppered for most of the game by Miami Springs but managed to keep the ball out of the net.
That all changed four minutes into the first overtime when Deno took a perfect line pass from Debbie Yance and beat a Goleman defender down the left side. She then fired off a shot that glanced off the top of Rodriguez’s hands and into the net, ending the contest.
Springs (15-4-4) will take on Mater Academy in the district final on 7 p.m. Friday at Traz Powell.
Goleman, which was forced for forfeit its GMAC quarterfinal game last week because injuries left it without enough players to field a team, finished 10-10-3.
