Bellingham went to double overtime against Cedarcrest before Ali Krell gave the Red Raiders new life in the 2A District Tournament.
Krell took a line drive from a corner kick and headed home Bellingham’s second goal of the soccer game to secure a 2-1 win in an elimination match Thursday at Liberty High School.
Coach Mark Wright said his team had been anemic on corners this year so that’s what Bellingham worked on in practice.
“We took a look at ways to give our kids better opportunities,” Wright said. “She positioned herself great and it was beautiful.”
