The No. 11 Eastern Tech and No. 14 Loch Raven girls soccer teams have become accustomed to seeing each other.

The teams played once in the regular season, a 1-1 tie. They saw each other in the Baltimore County championship, with Eastern Tech winning, 3-1.

Last night, they played for the Class 2A North regional title and a birth into the state semifinals. Eastern Tech (13-2-1) controlled the midfield and won, 1-0.

"This year, it was our goal to get [the regional] title back and to get into the state tournament," Mavericks coach Kim Williams said. "Tonight's game was definitely the toughest. [Loch Raven] really played hard, but luckily, we persevered."

With 12 minutes left in the first half, Eastern Tech's Sarah Holmes fielded a pass from Samantha Pinder 3 yards from the net and scored.

"It's the greatest feeling in the world," Holmes said. "It's just amazing."

Loch Raven (10-6-2) didn't convert on two key opportunities in the second half, one in front of the net and another on a corner kick.

Eastern Tech's next opponent will be the winner of the Parkside/Kent Island game in the 2A East regional final.
