Corner Canyon wins 5A girls soccer title with 2-1 victory over Murray

Sandy • It took all of 13 minutes for the Corner Canyon High girl soccer team to claim the 5A State Championship on Friday at Rio Tinto Stadium.

The Chargers scored two goals in the first 13 minutes of play — each less than two minutes apart — to beat the Murray Spartans 2-1. Megan Astle and Paje Rasmussen each found the back of the net for the Chargers.

Astle scored Corner Canyon’s firs goal on a penalty kick in the 13th minute when teammate Kayla Milford was fouled in the box. A well-placed corner kick in the 14th minute gave Rasmussen the opportunity to head in a goal for a 2-0 lead.
