Peters Township Girls Soccer Knocks Out Another District Champion
For the second PIAA playoff game in a row, the Peters Township girls soccer team eliminated a district. The Indians latest victim was District 3 champion, Cumberland Valley, with a 2-1 win in the state quarterfinals at Mansion Park Stadium in Altoona on Saturday.

The Indians got on the board first on a goal in the 13th minute by freshman CeCe Scott. Cumberland Valley tied it up with a goal in the 34th minute.
The game remained tied until the early parts of the second half. Six minutes into the second half, freshman Jillian Marvin got the game-winning goal for the Indians. The stout defense for Peters Township was able to have the one goal lead hold up.
The win improves Peters Township to 18-4. The Indians will face District 1 runner-up, Souderton, in the PIAA semifinals on Tuesday at Chambersburg High School at 4:30 p.m.
