Sandy • American Fork become adept at coming back from an early deficit by playing in the most viciously competitive region in the state.
The Cavemen proved they’re the queens of comebacks Friday when they rallied from a halftime deficit to claim the school’s first girls’ soccer state championship with a 3-1 victory over Syracuse at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Sisters Josie and Jamie Shepherd both scored a goal to complete the American Fork comeback before junior forward Addison Holmstead sealed the victory with her eighth goal of the season in the 70th minute of the Class 6A championship.
