The Brossart girls soccer team that won last year’s All “A” Classic state tournament will return to defend its title after defeating Beechwood in the sectional round of the small school playoffs on Monday at the Mustangs Athletic Complex.

The score was tied, 2-2, after two 40-minute halves and went to a penalty kick shootout. The tie remained after the first five penalty kicks, but Brossart freshman Macy Smith, the head coach’s daughter, won the tense playoff match on the seventh penalty kick of the tiebreaker shootout.

Brossart’s two goals were scored by freshman Rylee Fuller and sophomore Kiley Smith.
