Paige Westra, age 11, scored a goal late in the second half on Tuesday night (6.10.08) to salvage a tie for the Inver Grove Heights Heat, in the hotly contested East Metro Girls U11 Soccer League. The Heat, playing on Hudson's home turf, narrowly missed a victory after a goal earlier in the half was nullified due to an off side call. Westra's goal came, with 2 minutes remaining. She dribbled the ball away from an opposing player, broke into the open and kicked into the left corner of the goal, well outside the reach of the Hudson goal tender. In her typical modesty Westra averred when asked for details saying only that her kicking foot hurt. She was seen later celebrating at Culvers, with family and friends.
