“Great win tonight,” South Laurel coach Carly Mink said. “Always great to get a district win and especially on the road.
“It was nice to get ahead early and control the game,” she added. “Anytime you can play with a lead it helps the team play more relaxed. Super proud of our defense. It was a great game in the circle as well as the defensive behind her.”
