11-5A GIRLS SOCCER: Eagles blank Naaman Forest to move into a tie for first
By DEVIN HASSON, dhasson@starlocalnews.com
The race for the 11-5A championship is shaping up to be a close one, meaning every win early in the year could pay huge dividends at season's end.
Rowlett picked up one of those on Friday, posting a 3-0 shutout of Naaman Forest.
The Eagles moved into a tie with the Rangers with 3-1 records.
Haley Rodriguez scored twice for Rowlett while Amy Parra added the third score.
The Eagles will return to action on Tuesday when they play surprising North Garland (2-2) at 6 p.m. at Williams Stadium.
Sachse, which had a bye on Friday after suffering a 1-0 loss to Garland in its previous game, will try to rebound when it takes on winless South Garland on Tuesday at 4 p.m. at Homer B. Johnson Stadium.
