Troy Girls Soccer Team to Play in State Title Game

The Troy High varsity girls soccer team hope that with a third-consecutive berth in the state championship game on the line Friday that luck will be on their side.

The Colts' side was the one celebrating earlier this week as Troy edged OAA Red rival Rochester, 2-1, in a shootout to win the Division 1 semifinal game.

Troy advances to the state final for the third straight year and will play Grandville at 12 noon on Saturday at Williamston for the chance to win its third state championship and first since 2003, according to the Detroit News.

MI Prep Zone reports that while the season may not have gone entirely as Troy may have liked, the thrilling victory on Wednesday proved that the girls always had it in them to win.

"We were 4-6-3. Our focus was get better, get better, get better. We peaked at the right time," Troy coach Brian Zawislak said..
