Lady Jackets advance in state tourney

The Woodford County Lady Jacket soccer team advanced to the elite eight in the girls' state soccer tournament, upsetting third ranked West Jessamine 2-1 tonight.

They will face Boyle County (21-1-1) for the opportunity to advance to the state finals on Wednesday night at Community Stadium in Versailles.

Brandi Levi scored the first goal for the Jackets and Stephanie Patterson put in the game winner.

West Jessamine jumped out to the early 1-0 lead on a goal by Arin Gilliland. Levi scored late in the first half and the teams went into the locker room knotted at one.

Woodford dominated the second half, allowing only one Colt shot on goal. Patterson put the game away with a great individual effort with about 10 minutes remaining. She drove into the West Jessamine box, pulled the ball back and drove toward the goal when the Colt defender bit on the move. Patterson drove a perfect shot into the left corner of the net.
