YPSILANTI – Mason defeated Farmington Hills Mercy 2-0 in a Division 2 regional semifinal on June 2, sending the Bulldogs (11-4-4) to the regional final against New Boston Huron.
They grabbed the lead late in the first half and kept the Marlins (6-10-2) at bay in the second. Senior goalkeeper Paige Foster recorded the shutout.
“She has 11 shutouts now,” Mason coach Christie Hursey said. “When we practice, we give her all the confidence, [and] we build her up. She’s done very well for us all year, and she controls it back there. The coaches believe in her, the players believe in her, and it’s a team sport out here. She does play her role very well.”
Both teams traded scoring chances throughout the first half, but neither could capitalize until the 30th minute.
Lexi Haynie scored after a series of Mason shots finally broke through, giving the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead they carried into halftime.
