Franklin Regional Girls Soccer Loses 1-0 in Section Battle with Hampton  

They say that defense wins games, but it still takes putting one more goal on the board than your opponent to claim victory. The one more goal turned out to be the only goal for Hampton, as they beat Franklin Regional 1-0 in a WPIAL Class 3A Section 1 girls soccer game on Wednesday, October 2, at Franklin Regional's Panther Stadium in Murrysville.

The two teams played a scoreless contest for most of the first half in off-and-on periods of light rain. Hampton's Logan Nicklas ended the stalemate as her goal with 3:07 remaining in the first half found the back of the Franklin Regional net.

Neither team managed to score for the remainder of the game, as defense ruled the night, and the Lady Talbots handed the Lady Panthers a loss in front of the home crowd. 

Sophie Kelly was the winning goalkeeper for Hampton, with Sydney Caldwell minding the net for Franklin Regional.

Hampton's win breaks a third place tie between the two teams and bumps the Talbots' conference play record to 7-3-0, one spot better than Franklin Regional at 6-4-0. Hampton is 7-4-0 overall, with the Panthers sporting a 7-5-0 overall record.
