Mia Thom scored with 11:40 to go in the first overtime period off an assist from Jayna Burris to give the Lady Hawks their second C1 championship in three years.
Thom also scored early in the second half, again off an assist from Burris, to pull Holley even at 1-1.
“It was windy, we had to play small and switch some things up,” said Coach Renee Wolf of her youthful tem which has only two seniors. “I’m proud of this young group for their grit and determination at such a young age. They have a bright future ahead of them.”
Holley will next face C2 champion Byron-Bergen in the Section V Class C state qualifier game early next week.
