Soccer playoffs: Olmsted goals lift The Woodlands past Klein Collins

SPRING, Texas – Kaleigh Olmsted scored two second-half goals and The Woodlands High School girls’ soccer team defeated the Klein Collins Lady Tigers 2-0 in a bi-district playoff match on Friday at Klein Collins High School.

Olmsted broke a scoreless battle with an early goal in the second half and then put the match out of reach with a second goal shortly after.

The No. 7 state-ranked Lady Highlanders (19-2-3) advance to the area round of the playoffs where they will take on District 16-5A third-place representative Pflugerville Hendrickson, a 5-0 winner over Austin Lake Travis in its bi-district playoff match.

The Woodlands girls join the Highlanders boys’ team (18-2-3) in the area round. The boys’ squad claimed a 1-0 victory over Klein on Thursday and advance to the area round to meet District 16-5A third-place representative Round Rock, a 2-0 winner over Lake Travis in its bi-district playoff match.
