The Northampton girls soccer team drew a rematch in their District XI quarterfinal when they traveled to Parkland to take on the Trojans last Wednesday.

The two teams had played 80 minutes without scoring in their EPC quarterfinal the week before with Parkland coming out on top in penalty kicks.

The district contest played out in similar fashion. The Trojans created a few chaotic sequences in front of the Northampton goal, but neither team was able to find the goal during regulation.

Unlike in EPCs, district playoff games go to overtime to try to resolve the stalemate before resorting to PKs.

With 2:15 left in the first OT period, the Trojans’ Mia Russell found some room just outside the Northampton goal area and buried her chance, ending the K-Kids’ season.

“We just wanted them to know that we’re proud of them. That’s really the message to them because these girls are phenomenal. Hopefully, next year we find a way to beat teams like Parkland in the playoffs, but I’m just so proud of them,” stated head coach Trojano Bastidas.

“It’s tough. And the moment is just hitting the seniors right now. It’s difficult not to be emotional,” lamented Bastidas.

Perhaps no senior personified the will to win in this game more than Alayna Hahn. After suffering an arm injury for the second season in a row, the speedy forward played the entire season with a cast on her arm. That is until the second half of what would be her final game in a Northampton uniform.

Hahn had a knee-to-knee collision with a Parkland player late in the first half that left her availability for the rest of the game in doubt. Yet after halftime she was racing around the pitch, sans cast, trying to score that elusive goal to bring her team a victory.

Hahn joined fellow senior Grace Caulwell in being named as an EPC All Star for the 2026 season. Caulwell was the first team goalkeeper while Hahn was named to the third team.
