Lady Knights Win Region
by Jake Moon

Dominion Lady Knights solidified an incredible regular season with a 6-0 win over cross-town rivals North Cobb Christian on Tuesday. With that win in the bag, the Lady Knights remained both undefeated in the Region and were never scored on by any Region opponents. The Lady Knights outscored Region opponents 79-0 and had 33 shots per game compared to 2.5 shots per game, in the 8 region wins. These incredible stats explains the 12-2-2 record, including 11 shutouts, and being the first Region champs in Dominion girls soccer history.

Individually, the senior players are by far the strongest in Dominion’s history. Striker Alex Russ-Stefancic is the highest scorer, not only in GISA, but in all of GHSA, with 41 goals. She has been accepted to the Naval Academy, and plans to attend Petty School before matriculating to the Naval Academy. Kelsey Howard, Dominion’s second highest in goals and assists, has signed to Queen’s Academy in North Carolina and will most likely get playing time at outside-mid. Senior A.J. Baker signed to V.M.I. in April. Defender Erin Summerlin is being scouted by Kennesaw State on Tuesday. State Playoffs start on Tuesday at home against Southland at 4:00
