The Seaforth Hawks outlasted the Pine Lake Prep in penalty kicks on Saturday night at the Mecklenburg County SportsPlex to win the first NCHSAA Women’s Soccer State Championship in program history. The match was tied 0-0 after regulation and still tied 0-0 after 30 minutes of extra time. Five rounds of penalty kicks still weren’t enough to decide a winner, either. In the ninth round of penalty kicks, the Hawks edged in front 6-5.

For Seaforth, Emma O’Rourke, Regan Willauer, Katherine Leonard, Sam Tucker, Caitlin Erman, and Elizabeth Platt all found the net. Goalkeeper Leonard not only converted her penalty kick but also saved four of Pine Lake Prep’s attempts, including the final two, setting the stage for Platt to net the game-winner.
