Bella Solorza leads Walden Grove to bracket play (Andy Morales/AllSportsTucson.com)
The Grove Soccer Invitational
Dec. 28-Jan. 2: Walden Grove
The brackets for the Walden Grove Invitational have been set. The Sahuaro girls defeated Salpointe 1-0 on Wednesday to win Group B. The loss, combined with Tucson defeating Nogales meant the Lancers did not qualify for bracket play.
The Walden Grove girls took the top seed and will face Tucson in one semifinal match while Ironwood Ridge will play Sahuaro in the other. The winners will face off at 5 p.m. at Walden Grove on Saturday.
