For the first time in Fairbanks soccer, the Panthers advanced to the district finals with a 2-1 victory over #2 Fisher Catholic. Alex Johnson hit the game winner from a free kick from 20 yards out with time running out. When the ball went in, there were 2 seconds left in overtime. Roger Abdalla started the scoring off in 35th minute of the first half. Fisher Catholic scored five minutes into the second half when a long shot took a bad hop and bounced over Derrick Dupuis. The defense held the Irish to only 6 shots on goal.
Now we play Saturday at home against Worthington Christian for the district. They are the defending state champs, but we have the home field. The game will probably be in the afternoon, so we can play on our soccer field and not the football field.
