Estizer Smith, Alyssa Finelli lead Easton girls soccer to first-round District 11 win over Nazareth

FROM THE EXPRESS TIMES

Estizer Smith made a couple of big saves late after Alyssa Finelli's goal in the first minute of the second half snapped a 1-1 tie and lifted Easton to a 2-1 win over Nazareth in a District 11, first-round girls soccer game.

Easton, 16-4, the No. 5 seed in this year's tournament, will play No. 4 seed Saucon Valley in the quarterfinals on Friday afternoon. Twelfth-seeded Nazareth, 12-5-2, received a goal from Lennon Kramer after Christiana Nielsen opened the scoring for Easton.

"(Caitlin Lucas) passed me the ball," Finelli said, "and I tried to shoot it inside the far post. I really didn't think about it. I took a glance and just shot the ball."

The goal, coming about 30 seconds after the second half kickoff, was Finelli's 23rd of the season.
