Despite playing one of their best games of the season, the Canterbury girls soccer team fell to two-time defending state champion Bishop Dwenger 2-0 in the semifinal of the Canterbury sectional Thursday evening.

Seven seniors led the Lady Cavaliers into one of the most anticipated matches of the season, as they hoped to avenge a 2-1 regular season loss. Canterbury dominated possession in the first half, but Jordan Pawlik found the back of the net early to give the Saints a 1-0 halftime lead.

Lady Cavs goalkeeper Libby Hake made a number of excellent diving stops, but she was unable to stop a Blair Sorg penalty kick in the 75th minute that gave Bishop Dwenger a 2-0 lead.

The Lady Cavaliers end the season with an 11-5-2 record.
