Tuesday was a whole different story for the Lady Indians as they had trouble getting shots off in the first half, and Miami Trace keeper Aubrey Schwartz stopped all shots that went her way, along with help from a strong performance from the MT defense.
Hillsboro had their opportunities to score goals but just were off-target in those chances. The score was tied at zero when halftime arrived.
Miami Trace won the match off their lone goal with 3:56 left in the match by Tori Morrison.
For the sectional semifinal match, the Lady Indians totaled 13 shots on goal and 23 total shots. HHS keeper Riley Moberly totaled six saves in the match.
