Lightning strikes late, rallies to stay unbeaten
Facing the possibility of having their nine-game unbeaten streak
come to an end, the HB Lightning struck for four goals in the game’s
final 10 minutes Saturday to post a come-from-behind 4-1 victory over
Region 13 (Pasadena) in a girls AYSO Division 3 (Under-14) match.
The Lightning trailed 1-0 throughout most of the match, with the play of
