After a thrilling Saturday PK win over the Brookings Bobcats, the Pierre Governor girls soccer team will battle the O’Gorman Lady Knights for a spot in the AA state championship this Saturday.
It’s the first time this decade the Governors and Lady Knights will play against each other as the schedules and playoffs have not lined up for Pierre and O’Gorman to match. It would be the 2019 playoffs, O’Gorman would beat Pierre in Sioux Falls, 2-1 in the first round of the playoffs. Now, at home, Pierre would like to return the favor and reach the state championship to boot. Pierre is coming in at 12-1-1 beating Brookings 4-2 in penalty kicks after a scoreless 100 minute draw. O’Gorman is coming in as the five seed, upsetting the Aberdeen Central Golden Eagles 3-0 on Saturday and they will be fighting for a second straight road playoff win to reach the title game for the second straight season. The Lady Knights come in at 10-3-2 and are 6-1-1 in the last eight games with a loss to Class A Sioux Falls Christian and a tie to Lincoln. O’Gorman has three straight shutouts heading into the contest. However, Pierre also has three straight shutouts in the last three games including the 0-0 tie against the two seed Harrisburg.
Coverage today begins at 3:30 with kickoff at 4:00 on KCCR and on YouTube at KCCR Sports with Jon Winkler on the call. The winner will face the winner of Harrisburg and Yankton in the state championship on Saturday.
