(Southeast Indiana) - Switzerland County survived and advanced in the IHSAA Girls Soccer State Tournament on Saturday. 

The #6 Lady Pacers traveled to Southwestern (Shelbyville) where they defeated Greencastle 1-0 to advance to the semi-state. 

Both teams battled throughout the first half ending the frame with a 0 to 0 score, however, the Lady Pacers controlled possession for a majority of the half.

In the second half, Switzerland County found the back of the net on a corner kick by Taylor Kappes that bent in right over the goalie to take the 1-0 lead - which ended up being the final score. 

The Pacers (16-4-1) will play #4 Providence (12-5) in the Semi-State on Saturday, October 24 at Whiteland Community. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:00 PM. 

The winner will play #7 Fort Wayne Blackhawk (16-2-3) or #5 Oak Hill (20-1) for a Class A State Championship the following weekend. 

In Class 2A, Batesville's tremendous season came to an end on Saturday. The #7 Lady Bulldogs fell 4-1 to #1 Evansville Memorial. Batesville ends the season with a 15-1-1 record, a sectional championship, and a share of the EIAC title.
