McConnellsburg staves off Conemaugh Township in D5 girls soccer title

BEDFORD — A pair of second-half goals by senior Gemma Gordon propelled McConnellsburg to its second District 5 Class 1A girls soccer championship in three seasons with a 3-2 win over Conemaugh Township, Wednesday, Nov. 4, at Bedford High School. "Everyone's special," said McConnellsburg coach Josh McKelvy of the title. "This game and this feeling never get old. I'm very pleased for the girls because when we lost the seniors that we did last year, there was a question whether the new round of girls would be talented enough to fill in the gaps. They certainly left no doubt on that tonight." McConnellsburg (20-0-1) dominated play in the first half and gained an early advantage when a shot was played in near goal but was misplayed due to the side spin and booted home by Braelyn Barnes less than 3 minutes into the contest.
