MUSKEGON, Mich. – After tying Muskegon Reeths-Puffer 1-1 early in the 2024 campaign, Muskegon Mona Shores was able to oust its arch-rival Rockets in a Division 1 pre-district Wednesday, 1-0.
The Ottawa Kent Conference-Green Division champions scored the game winner with just 3:42 left in regulation to prevail.
Corralling a pass from junior midfielder Ava Freye, senior forward Shay Norden, who is headed to Calvin University next school year, slipped in a close-range shot and the Sailors defense made it stand down the stretch, as Mona Shores (16-2-2) advanced to next week’s district semifinals against fellow state-ranked Rockford.
Ella Kinney, Annie Zambon, Mal Hogston and Addison Fisher aided the defensive effort and senior Jersey VanderWall recorded her 11th shutout of the season on just two saves. The Sailors outshot Reeths-Puffer 14-2.
