Biros’ goal sends Yough to WPIAL semifinals

Natalie Vilchek left the game for an extended period of time in the first half Thursday night after she tweaked her right knee.
She returned and made an instant impact.
The Yough junior checked back in with her right knee wrapped in tape and immediately set up for, of all things, a corner kick. Vilchek loves corner kicks.
The left-footer sent a bending cross to the far post and Amber Biros headed it in for the game’s only goal as No. 5 Yough edged No. 4 and unbeaten Burrell, 1-0, in a WPIAL Class 2A quarterfinal at Norwin.
It was Yough’s first shot of the night with 8:34 left in the first half.
Yough (16-1-1) advances to the semifinals to play No. 8 Freeport (15-4) Monday at a site and time to be determined.
