Soccer: Wildcats' Early Goal Proves Victorious Against Mustangs
Plymouth girls defeat the Northville Mustangs with first-half corner kick.
The storms that postponed Plymouth High School's baseball, softball, and JV girl's soccer games at Northville High School cleared just in time for the varsity girl's soccer match Monday evening.
It was a close and hard-fought game by both sides, separated only by an early goal by Plymouth's Stephanie Dillon.
Dillon bent one into the net from a corner kick near the 20th minute. She said after the game that she was "Relieved, actually, that we scored pretty early in the game," but admitted, "it was definitely hard to keep the intensity the whole game."

The Mustangs came out hard in the second half. Their intensity increased throughout the half, ending the last 10 minutes with a fierce offensive push. Plymouth's keeper, Marissa Williams, secured the Wildcats' lead during this push with repeated saves that sparked jeers from the stands.
This was Plymouth's ninth win overall, but it doesn't affect its standing in the South Division, where its record remains at 7-1-2.
