In a closely contested non-conference battle on a wet Thursday evening at Union Grove High School, the Union Grove Broncos girls varsity soccer team suffered a narrow 1-0 loss to the Menomonee Falls Phoenix. Despite dominating with an impressive +14 shot on goal margin, the Broncos were unable to find the back of the net, marking their greatest shot margin in a loss since 2015.\n\nThe match's only goal came early, with Menomonee Falls scoring in the 3rd minute off a mishandled play by Union Grove. The decisive goal was struck by midfielder #11 from Menomonee Falls, who also earned the title of game-winning goal scorer for the night. The Broncos' defense, led by their goalkeeper who made a key save, fought valiantly to keep the game within reach but ultimately could not level the score.\n\nDespite the loss, Union Grove's performance showcased resilience and determination, as reflected in their aggressive offensive play. The Broncos, now standing at a 3-2 record for the season, look to rebound in their next encounter against Beloit Memorial at Beloit Memorial High School scheduled for April 22. The team remains optimistic about their upcoming fixtures and the opportunity to return to their winning ways.
