The Mary Persons girls soccer team has
clinched a home playoffgame, second place
in Region 2-AAAA and has a chance to
finish on Thursday with the second-best
regular season record in program history.
The Lady Dogs improved to 12-3 on the
year with a 3-1 non-region win over Mt. de
Sales (4-10) at Lancaster Field on Monday.
If Mary Persons gets likely wins over
Tatmall Square Academy (1-4-1) on Tues-
day and Perry (4-11-1) on Thursday, the
girls will finish the regular season 14-3, a
record second in program history only to
the 16-2 regular season record of 2015.
Playing Monday after rain postponed the
game last Tuesday; the Bulldogs jumped on
the Lady Cavs early when junior striker Ab-
bie Davis dribbled right and then chipped
one into the right comer to make it 1-0.
Later freshman Abby Williamson showed
offher cannon leg by drilling a long shot
iREporter
into the upper 90, making it 2-0. After
that, the Lady Cavs tightened the defense
and MP couldn't pad its lead despite con-
trolling possession much of the game.
Then MP was whistled for a foul in the
box and Mr. de Sales nailed the penalty
kick. Suddenly the Lady Dogs led just 2-1
with 10 minutes to go.
Moments later, Davis was pushed
outside the box giving NIP a direct kick.
Senior Annie Giles lofted a high, arching
shot that sailed into the net to give the
Bulldogs their final margin of victory, 3-1.
Coach Dallas Hall said he was happy
with the win but disappointed in the
performance.
"It wasn't very good," said Hall, adding
they may be rusty after taking three
weeks off for spring break.
The Lady Dogs played better last Friday
in a 3-0 home loss to region champion
Spalding, the same score of their earlier
match in Griffm
Hall said it's probably the best they've
played against
Spalding, currently
ranked No. 9 in the
state, in his three
years at MP, but said
the team missed
senior defender
Sidney Briner, who
was out for a chorus
concert.

Whatever your opinion hearing
about
aids
before 10 seconds ago, you can forget it.
Now there is an amazing new hearing technology that not
only gives you the most incredibly improved hearing but thanks to the
latest advances in digital bionics provides much better value than other rival
aids. Called Oh!, its revolutionary design actually mimics the natural sound
selection processes of the human ear more faithfully than anything before it.
NEW BREAKTHROUGH
Inside the Oh! is multi-core processing, similar to the technology in today's
most advanced computers. Incoming signals (speech and ambient sounds)
analyzed, identified and classified every six milliseconds to adapt the
hearing instrument for comfort and clarity.
In a space the size of a match head, the laboratory has managed to fit
PURE NATURAL CLARITY
The Oh!'s ingenious system controls noise in six situations: Quiet, Machine
Noise, Wind, Speech in Noise, Pure Noise, and Speech. Because your life-
style is unique, your hearing aids will be preset up to five levels of adaptation
for each noise category, which means you will be able to understand speech
in .background noise like never before. Oh! is also designed so you'll experi-
ence virtually:
No Feedback No Echo
No Whistling No Wind Noise
