In a Region 10 girls' soccer matchup, Park City Miners (6-0 in the region, 8-2 overall) secured a 3-2 victory over Murray (4-2 in the region, 7-3 overall) to stay perfect in region despite playing with 10 players to end the match. Park City led 2-1 at halftime and maintained its lead to the final whistle. Leah Yaeger, Abby Hanton and Lauren Kindt all scored goals for the Miners, with Kindt adding a pair of assists as well. Murray's Ava Talaeai netted both of her team's goals, both from penalty kicks. "Coming into a new region this season, the only team we were familiar with was Murray who moved into this region with us so we knew that Murray was a team full of talented players and extremely well coached and organized. Our expectations were that this game would be a battle and it was," said Park City coach Anthony DiCicco. "Even up two goals we expected Murray to continue to apply pressure and they did. Mistakes on our part led to us conceding two penalties and going down a player. However even with 10 players we stayed true to our principles and dug deep to put ourselves in a position to find a way. Then junior vice captain Lauren Kindt who had two assists earlier in the game was able to find enough space for a shot of her own after receiving a throw in deep in Murray territory in the 66th minute for a stunning effort to beat Murray's excellent goalkeeper to the top left corner and the team came together and stayed disciplined to see out the result."
