Crestview 3 Columbus Grove 3

CONVOY — In the regular season finale, Crestview rallied from an early 3-0 deficit to tie Columbus Grove 3-3 on Saturday.

Addison Williman scored off of a pass from Lindsey Schumm to get the Lady Knights on the board and gain some momentum going into halftime, then much of second half was a defensive stalemate with Crestview’s defense, anchored by Addyson Dowler, Micaela Lugabihl, Hope Loyer and Addessa Alvarez, stopping several threats from Grove.

Emily Karcher had several big saves in the second half to keep the game within reach, then with 5:47 left, Katelyn Castle hit top right corner of the net to make it 3-2, then Castle scored the equalizer less than three minutes later.
