On a rain‑soaked evening in Salem, the Glenvar Highlanders erupted into celebration as they faced off against Radford on senior night.
A comeback that sparked the night
Avery Steger, who had been sidelined by a torn ACL and meniscus, returned to the pitch and calmly converted a penalty kick, igniting the team’s early momentum.
The Highlanders surged ahead, posting four goals in the first half before extending their lead to an 8‑1 final margin.
A flawless regular season
The victory secured Glenvar’s 16‑1 record, the best in program history, and positioned them as top contenders heading into the Region 2C postseason.
Goals were spread across the lineup, with Gabby Barba, Adalee Harvey, Ryleigh Dickerson and Steger all finding the net, underscoring the team’s depth.
Coach praised the squad’s resilience, noting that the win was as much a tribute to the seniors as it was to the collective effort.
