Amber Depasquale hit a lead-off triple in the fifth inning, Rachel Felker knocked her in with a clutch double, pitching ace Elaine Brown threw a one-hit shutout with a dozen strikeouts, and the Lady Highlanders played some excellent defense as The Woodlands High School continued to make history and defeated McNeil, 1-0, Thursday to win the Area championship at Bryan High School's softball field and advance to the Regional Quarterfinals against Bryan High School.
"It was a good win," said TWHS head coach Richard Jorgensen. "We played a good team. We faced a really good pitcher. The key was pitching and defense."
The Lady Highlanders have never advanced this far in the state softball playoffs.
