Northeast
had
Franklin Towne Charter
's number in girls' soccer this season.
Until yesterday.
In the most meaningful game between the teams, the District 12 Class AAA semifinals at Simon Gratz, Christina Hyatt scored two goals, including a second-half game-winner, to give the Coyotes (9-3-2) a 3-2 win.
It was the first-ever win for Franklin Towne Charter over Northeast and meant a trip to the title game on Wednesday against Central.
The winner of that game gets an automatic trip to the state tournament.
Hyatt's second goal broke a 2-2 tie in the second half, an 18-yard blast that found the corner of the net.
Stefanie Dietrich also scored for FTC to give it a 2-0 lead and sophomore goalie Colleen Dwyer made 15 saves.
Northeast defeated Franklin Towne Charter by a pair of 2-1 scores in the regular season.
Perennial power Central earned its spot in the final with a 2-0 win over Masterman in a game played at Northeast.
The game was stopped because of rain with 4 minutes, 30 seconds left to play, but the result was ruled official by agreement of both teams.
Kirsten Quinn and Jess Phillips scored the goals and Tina Baker had four saves for the Lancers (14-2-1).
