St. Hubert defeated Archbishop Wood on Saturday in penalty kicks to capture the Catholic League girls soccer championship at St. Joseph’s University.
It was the Bambies’ first championship since 2002.
The Vikings entered the game as the four-time defending champions.
Wood scored first just 4:02 into the game.
St. Hubert (11-8-1) tied the score with 11:16 remaining in the first half. Luca D’Andrea took a free kick that the Wood keeper deflected off the crossbar, and Bridie Musial kicked the ball into the net to make it 1-1.
The teams played 80 minutes of regulation and 30 minutes of overtime before PKs.
Grace Smith, D’Andrea, Saige Primavera, Kady Donnelly and Riley Roesner all scored for the Bambies.
The difference was a save made by St. Hubert keeper Quin Miller, who had a great game with 11 saves in regulation and overtime.
The Bambies will be back in action on Tuesday in the District 12 Class 3A final against Arts Academy at Benjamin Rush. Both teams are guaranteed a spot in the PIAA playoffs, which begin Nov. 4.
Following the girls game, La Salle topped Father Judge, 2-0, to win the boys title. ••
