Ballard's Cassie Winters sprints away from a Redmond defender in the first half of the Sept. 22 match. Winters would score the game-winning goal in the final minute of play.
After going 1-3-1 in non-conference preseason games, the Ballard High School girls soccer team started out the conference season on the right foot, with a little help form a last minute goal.
The Beavers found themselves knotted at 1-1 with Redmond Sept. 22 after Ballard's Kat Anesini scored off an Emma Onstad-Hawes pass in the 37th minute.
The match remained tied until Cassie Winters gave Ballard the win with an unassisted score in the final minute of the match.
Coach Val Seid said he was happy with the way Ballard played as a team.
"The girls had been talking the last couple weeks about playing with heart and desire," he said. "And, I think they did that."
The Beavers will attempt to go 2-0 in the conference against Newport at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 25 at Newport High School.
