The Aledo Ladycats avenged last year's area championship loss to Fossil Ridge by winning in a shootout tonight at Northwest High School. Aledo took an early lead on a goal by senior midfielder Jordan Leech barely a minute into the game. At the end of regulation the teams were tied at 1-1, and two overtimes did not solve the issue. Aledo's Kirby Zak, Kaylee McGee, Brooke Hubbard and Ashley Huhn won the shootout 4-2, giving Aledo the 3-2 win.
Aledo will play Randall in the regional semifinal at a date and time to be determined. Randall defeated Wichita Falls 4-3. Game time and place will be posted at this Web site.
