AVON, Nov. 11 – There are no more easy matches left on the schedule for the Avon High girls soccer team.
The No. 8 Falcons (14-3-1) moved into the Class L quarterfinals with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over No. 9 Joel Barlow at Fisher Meadow on Wednesday. Sophomore Erica Primovic had the game-winning goal with 9:05 left in the first half. Her left-footed shot from just inside the top of the penalty box slipped to the right of Barlow goalie Jessica Khamarji.
Avon freshman goalie Kaylan Conrad made a game-saving save with 24 minutes left in the game. Barlow’s Taylor Auger ripped a rising shot that Conrad tipped up in the air. The ball hit the top of the cross bar and bounced into the air. Conrad caught the ball for the save.
