MELHS Girls Soccer Coach Dan Deist said he was ecstatic with the win that included a goal by Jose with about 2 minutes left in the match.

"The girls worked hard," he said. "We only had 10 players and one of those had to sit out for part of the game. We have a roster of 15, but have some girls injured and a few play softball, too. The girls fought to put the goal in at the end to win. It was a great victory."

Metro-East is now 2-9-0, while the Wildcats are 1-5-0.
