On Monday, the lady Panthers met the Assumption College in semi-final play and a rematch of Paris’ loss in the last game of the season. Both teams watching Holy Trinity upset BCI’s long-time undefeated team, the first entrant in the championship final match.
In the first half, the Panthers threatened to score often, only to stall on their way to the goal line, with dropped passes, penalties and turnovers. The Lions scored the only try of the half, on a long run and a 5-0 lead.
In the second half, Assumption scored another try, but missed their convert attempt due to the high winds and took 10-0. Finally, in the last 5 minutes of play, Paris’ Petra Keefe scored a try to make the score 10-5, declining to take a convert attempt so that the team could take another shot at goal. Unfortunately, time ran out for Paris, but the good news will be heading off to CWOSSA later this month.
