The King’s Fork High School girls’ soccer team got a big 4-3 win in overtime over Western Branch High School at home Tuesday evening.

Lonni Cox put on a show, scoring all four of the Lady Bulldogs’ goals, including the go-ahead goal for the win during the overtime period. Hannah Marston assisted on three of Cox’s goals.

“They were a challenge, but we pulled through,” Cox said. “I wouldn’t have been able to score without the help of my teammates. I was just doing what I needed to do for the team, and I was able to play great.”
