Shadow Ridge shocks Gorman in soccer playoffs

The Shadow Ridge girls soccer team went into Monday’s Class 5A Southern League quarterfinals as heavy underdogs, but the players didn’t seem to care.

It took double overtime and a game-deciding shootout, but the seventh-seeded Mustangs knocked off No. 2 Bishop Gorman 5-4 at Bettye Wilson Park.

The Gaels led 1-0 at the end of regulation, but Shadow Ridge senior Brynn Belcher tied it with a goal in continuation time.
