The Milton girls won their third straight Class AAAAA state title and seventh in eight seasons Saturday with an 18-4 domination of Roswell. The Eagles were apparently not worried when they fell behind 1-0 early on, as they rallied for 14 consecutive goals.
Annie Ruland scored five goals while Amanda Lockwood had four and Lydia Costa had three. Eight total Eagles scored.
With the win, Milton (18-4) completed its third straight season without a loss to a Georgia opponent. The last Eagles' loss to a team from the Peach State was the final game of the 2009 season, a 9-7 loss to Chattahoochee.
