The O’Neal School’s girls’ soccer team avenged a 1-0 home loss to Village Christian Academy on Friday. Well, sort of.
The visiting Lady Falcons played Village to a 1-1 draw that saw two scoreless overtime periods. Both goals came in the opening half of play.
Village took an early lead on a 20-yard free kick in the 22nd minute, but O’Neal had the answer 12 minutes later.
Abbey Dahl leveled the score in the 30th minute after receiving a ball from Madelyn Davis, stepping to the right and firing a 25-yard bullet that beat the Village keeper.
It was Dahl’s team-leading fourth goal of the season.
