Cor Jesu Advances To State Soccer Championships With Late Antonacci Goal

Junior Jenny Antonacci's winner late in the second half sends the Chargers to the state soccer semifinals in Kansas City next Saturday.

And late Saturday night, after a thrilling 2-1 victory in a MSHSAA Class 3 state quarterfinal game against Pattonville, Bruno told her team they could shout it loud, because the Chargers are …
