How Roberson's Aria Giles delivered 4OT winner in 3rd round vs Reynolds
Roberson girls soccer needed four overtimes and 107 minutes of play before Aria Giles finally scored the game-winner against Reynolds.
ASHEVILLE — Roberson junior Aria Giles’ 107th-minute corner in the fourth overtime of a third-round playoff matchup against rival Reynolds was supposed to just find the back post — and hopefully a teammate’s head. Instead, it curved. Then found the netting on the right side of the goal.
Olimpico. Golden goal. Rams , 3-2.
“Sometimes that happens, so I’m not going to complain,” Giles said. No. 6 Roberson (17-4-1) advanced to the fourth round of the NCHSAA 6A playoffs with the win on May 18.
The Rams will play No. 2 Mount Tabor on May 21. Giles had a perfect chance to end the game in the third overtime when the Rams earned a penalty kick.
