Thanks to a first half goal by senior Katie Turner and a whole lot of teamwork, the Cloquet girls soccer team defeated St. Frances 1-0 in their Class AA quarterfinal game Wednesday, Oct. 27 and advanced to the semifinal round at U.S. Bank stadium.

The Lumberjacks will face Benilde-St. Margaret’s at 12:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 4 at The Bank. If they win Thursday, the Class AA championship game is set for 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 6 at U.S. Bank stadium.
