Both teams had good scoring opportunities, but the game ended in a 1-1 tie.
It’s wasn’t too surprising that Monday night’s girls’ soccer game between South Kingstown High and Cumberland High Monday night ended in a 1-1 draw. The two teams were equally out-of-sync in the first half and equally aggressive in the second half, and with the exception of a few long shots by both teams, which weren’t serious threats to get past the goalkeepers, most of the first half was played toward the middle of the field.
