FORT ATKINSON - Marie Fitzgerald scored two goals to help Fort Atkinson hand the Monroe girls soccer team a heartbreaking 2-1 loss in overtime on Tuesday.
Fitzgerald scored the game-winning goal on a free kick.
"We knew Marie Fitzgerald was a very skilled player," Monroe coach Miriam O'Neill said. "It was a real battle. It was a very exciting game."
Senior Molly Hlubek was assigned the chore of defending Fitzgerald. Hlubek injured her ankle and was forced out of the game.
"We are hoping it's not too bad," O'Neill said of Hlubek's injury. "We were missing two starters and we had to move some people around."
Monroe sophomore Gabby Ludwig scored on an assist from senior Chelsea Haffele at 11 minutes, 35 seconds to give the Cheesemakers (5-6, 2-4 Badger South) a 1-0 lead.
Fitzgerald scored the game-tying goal at 42:49 to force overtime.
