The Waynesburg girls soccer team scored its way to a WPIAL Class AA championship.

Led by Pitt commit Madison Clayton, head coach Joe Kijowski and his two daughters, Rhea and Jillian, the Raiders (20-2) outscored its opponents by an amazing 147-14 margin.

Taking advantage of their family-like closeness, the Raiders played through cold conditions in the WPIAL semifinal to advance to the title game against Freedom. In the championship, Kylie Sinn, Clayton and both Kijowski girls each scored a goal to win the match 4-2. Waynesburg became the first school in Greene County to win a WPIAL soccer championship.

While most games are closer in the postseason, the Raiders won their first four playoff games by scores of 5-0, 7-0, 4-2 and 6-0, before losing 1-0 in the second round of the PIAA playoffs to Bedford.

Claytyon led the WPIAL in goals with 57 goals as the Raiders finished the season with a 20-2 record. Clayton scored 148 goals in her career.
