QUINCY, Ill. (WGEM) - The countdown is on for Quincy Notre Dame Girls Soccer team. The (21-3-3) Lady Raiders now sit just one win away from earning a birth in the Class 1A State Championship game. If QND gets past the (16-9) Lady Pioneers of Normal U-High this evening, the “Blue and Gold” will punch there ticket to Saturday’s title tilt. The journey to reach that point, won’t be an easy task as the Lady Raiders already understand all to well. Last year, Quincy Notre Dame finished fourth in the state and in 2022, Mark Longo’s squad wants to change that storyline in a big way. The WGEM Sports-Cam recently caught up with Lady Raiders forward Lia Quintero for a little insight on facing the Lady Pioneers in the biggest game of their season to date. We’ll have an update and a scouting report from WGEM’s Brendan Reidy from Naperville, Illinois.
