Tessa Kellar’s unassisted goal with 10 minutes left in the match powered Pymatuning Valley’s girls soccer team to a 3-2 victory over visiting Jefferson in non-conference action Saturday.
PV built a 2-0 lead in the first half on unassisted goals by Lauren McNeilly and Nicole Virostek, but Amanda Gilchrist tied the match with 15 minutes still remaining by scoring on a penalty kick and an unassisted goal. That set the stage for Kellar’s decisive goal.
Jefferson thought it had tied the match with eight minutes still remaining on a shot by Gina Chiacchiero, but Jefferson coach Chris Fuentes said officials disallowed the goal.
“I don’t know why (they waved it off),” Fuentes said. “The PV girls even rolled the ball out.”
Lauren Seman had 10 saves in goal for PV. Emily Fuller had 12 saves for Jefferson (0-1-1).
