Ashburn's Young Women Athletes Win State Titles
The Broad Run girls soccer team wins its fourth consecutive championship, while Briar Woods softball wins its first.
The Broad Run girls soccer and the Briar Woods softball teams each claimed state championship victories June 11 at Radford University.
The Lady Spartans won a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Blacksburg to win their fourth straight state title. Cassie Smith connected with Erin Brady for the game's only goal in the first half. From there, disciplined defense took over. The Spartans registered their second straight shutout in the state playoffs after allowing one goal in the quarterfinal game against Jamestown.
The state softball final was not nearly as close for the Falcons; the team registered a 9-1 blowout win over Loudoun rival Woodgrove to claim its first ever softball state championship.
