The Cartersville girls and boys soccer teams swept Region 5-AAAA contests Friday night at Chapel Hill with the Lady Canes earning a 3-1 win over the Lady Panthers and the Hurricanes striking for a 5-1 win in Douglasville.

In the girls match, the backline defenders of Devondria Johnson, Janet Zazueta, Chloe Williams, and Emma Baker limited a normally high-scoring Chapel Hill team to a single goal. The Lady Canes led 1-0 at halftime on a successful penalty kick by Micah Vance. Vance scored again in the second half off an assist from Linet Chege. Chapel Hill narrowed the lead to 2-1, but Kalyn Donegan found the net in the game’s 78th-minute off an assist from Kendyl Anderson to secure Cartersville’s 3-1 victory. The Lady Canes (5-2-1, 2-0) travel to Central-Carroll Monday.
