Behind Emily O'Conner's hat-trick performance, the Shoregals scored three goals in the second half after the game was tied 1-1 at halftime. The Avon Lake freshman helped bring home her team’s first conference title.
Emily O’Conner set up for a shot about 25 yards out from the right side and ripped a shot that carried to the upper-left 90 past goalie Sarah Loeser to cut the North Olmsted lead to 3-2 for her first goal of the night.
O’Conner’s second goal came off a beauty of a set-play when senior Morgan Srail went head-over-heels on the thrown-in from the 20-yard line and found O’Conner in front of the net.
O’Conner let the ball skip off the back of her head and off the far post with 18:43 left in the game to knot the score at 3-3 giving the Shoregals new life in their conference quest.
With 15:10 remaining in the game, O'Conner clinched the conference title with the game-winner.

The Lorain High wrestling program has started open mats and weight training. Over 50 young men participated in at an open mat early this week. It is the first step as the young men seek to be the first wrestlers from the new Lorain High to advance to the state tournament the first weekend of March.

For those seeking to make the trip to Columbus, they won’t have to travel far to get there as Lorain High has been selected to host both the D-I sectional and district wrestling tournament in 2011. Southview has hosted the sectional tournament for several years but now Titan wrestlers will have the advantage of home cooking for both meets that lead to the state tournament.

“It is great for the city of Lorain and the program,” Lorain head wrestling coach Billy Kopp said. “We are coming together as the new Lorain High and now to have the districts in our hometown is huge.”

The sectional tournament will be held between Feb. 14-19 with the district tournament to take place the following week.
