CONCORD — Rachel Warden made two plays that saved Garnet Valley’s season Thursday at Moe DeFrank Stadium.
First, the junior defender did something in the District One fifth-place game against Springfield that she doesn’t do very often. With the score tied and the clock ticking late in the second half, Warden became the aggressor with the ball in her stick. She took a page from her big sister Haley’s book, crashing the net with the intent to do damage.
She kicked up speed around midfield and made a beeline to the net. Warden drew a hard foul and converted a free shot, sending a laser past Springfield goalie Julianne Clemons, to give Garnet Valley a lead it would not relinquish in a thrilling, 15-14 victory.
