Locust Grove 10, Drew 0

RIVERDALE — The Lady Wildcats finished Region 4-AAA play with a dominant performance on the road.

Northgate 4, Lovejoy 3

HAMPTON — Lovejoy gave up three second-half goals in the final 20 minutes for a disappointing loss at home in a non-region game.

The Lady Wildcats (8-1, 6-0 in Region 4-AAAA) took a 3-1 lead early in the second half thanks to senior forward and Vanderbilt signee Cheyna Williams’ third goal.

Northgate answered with a goal in the 60th minute, another in the 75th minute and finished off the comeback with header off a cornerkick in the 78th minute.

Lovejoy can still clinch its second straight region championship with a win against Riverdale on Thursday.
