Stockbridge Soccer (SHS) continues to show growth and resilience as they held Quincy, the top-ranked team in the Big 8 Conference, to just two goals in a hard-fought 2-0 loss.

Despite facing a high-powered Quincy offense that recorded 28 shots, SHS put in a stellar defensive performance. The Panthers stayed compact, disciplined, and organized for all 90 minutes, frustrating Quincy's attack and limiting quality scoring chances. The defense absorbed pressure and cleared numerous crosses and corners, showing poise under fire.

Possession was nearly even, with SHS holding 47.9% of the ball and successfully completing 63 passes. The team also executed 5 free kicks and battled for control in midfield throughout the game. Though SHS managed just two shots, their ability to stay within striking distance of such a strong opponent speaks volumes about their improvement and grit.

Head Coach Conley praised the effort: "The girls are locking in defensively. We're seeing a ton of progress and discipline in our back line and midfield. This is a team on the rise."

With continued growth and defensive effort like this, SHS is proving they can compete with anyone in the conference.
