District 5/6-AA Girls Soccer Playoff Preview

Tuesday's Play-In Result
(9) Huntingdon 2, (8) Tyrone 1

Thursday's Quarterfinals
9 Huntingdon (10-7) at 1 Forest Hills (16-0-1)
5 Bedford (13-4-1) at 4 Westmont-Hilltop (12-3-2)
6 Somerset (11-6-1) at 3 Ligonier Valley (13-3-1)
7 Juniata (11-5-1) at 2 Bellefonte (13-3)

Breakdown: The Class AA field features a lot of talent that shows with each team having at least 10 wins in the season. Top seed Forest Hills is the prohibitive favorite and rides the offensive firepower from seniors Casey Gallaher and Briana Kostan, who have both topped the 100-goal mark for their respective careers. The 4-5 matchup between Westmont and Bedford is a rematch from last year's quarterfinals, won in a penalty kick shootout by Westmont. This contest will take place at Richland High School, same as last year. These two played twice already this year. Westmont won 2-1 in the first one, and the teams played to a 2-2 tie last week.

The championship pick: Forest Hills.
