MCFARLAND - The Monroe girls soccer team's season came to an end with a 4-1 loss to McFarland in a WIAA Division 3 regional semifinal game Thursday.
McFarland's Meghan Smits scored two goals to lead the third-seeded Spartans past the Cheesemakers. With the loss, Monroe finished the season at 9-8-2.
"We had a very young team and we still had a winning season," Monroe coach Miriam O'Neill said. "With the number of freshman we have they are only getting better. There is a tremendous amount of potential the next couple of years."
Smits scored her first goal at 10 minutes, 10 seconds and added a second goal at 42:05. Monroe freshman Brynn Ritschard scored a goal on an assist from junior Maddie Kallgren at 44:17 to cut the Spartans' lead to 2-1 at the half.
"That definitely gave us a real spark," O'Neill said of Ritschard's goal.
McFarland's Megan Glasbrenner scored a goal on a penalty kick 3 minutes into the second half to give the Spartans a 3-1 lead. The penalty kick was awarded due to a hand ball.
It gave them a two goal lead, but those things happen," O'Neill said. "Nothing could have been done about it."
