Thursday night’s game was a battle of wills between Springboro and Sycamore that ended in a 1-1 tie in front Springboro’s home crowd at Wade Field.

Sycamore found themselves on the board first, capitalizing on a corner kick opportunity six-and-a-half minutes into the match, taking a 1-0 lead.

The second half mirrored the intensity of the first, with both squads generating opportunities off corner kicks and sustained attacking pressure. One of the biggest moments of the night came with 8:46 remaining in the game when the Springboro goalkeeper Charlotte Fry came up with a tremendous save off a Sycamore corner kick. The game ended in a 1-1 draw.
