The Northfield and Wabash girls golf teams ended their seasons at the East Noble Regional Friday, Sept. 24, at Noble Hawk Golf Course.

The third time was the charm for the Wabash girls soccer team. In its third attempt to finish its Three Rivers Conference matchup against Manchester, with the first halted by lightning, the second called by lightning again with 2:47 left to play in regulation, the teams concluded the match, this time in the rain.

With a 0-0 tie going into overtime, neither team scored in the two overtime periods, leading to a shootout, which the Lady Apaches won with 3 goals to Manchester’s 1.

Libby Mattern, Linda Cordes, and Rylee Yoakum all converted in the shootout, while Hannah Layne allowed just one, and 16 saves overall for Wabash.

The Wabash boys tennis team swept Blackford 5-0 last week as a nice lead-in to sectional later this week.

The Wabash boys soccer won two Three Rivers Conference matches in overtime to stay atop of the TRC standings heading into the final week of the season.
