KALISPELL — In Friday's Class AA boys soccer quarterfinal matchup between Kalispell Glacier and Billings Senior, it was the defense that dominated the match as most scoring opportunities were shut down on crucial saves by the goalies.

But in the end, West No. 2-seed Glacier earned a 1-0 overtime win to advance to the semifinal round of the playoffs.

Glacier puts away Billings Senior 1-0 in extra time with shorthanded goal in quarterfinal win

In regulation, the match was scoreless as both starting goalkeepers made important saves on great opportunities like free kicks and corners.

In the second half, the Broncs had their best scoring opportunity when Jake Shelden got one past Silas Young, but it kicked off the goal post, and Matays Brownells’ attempt on the rebound was defended perfectly by Cash Treweek.

But Young was a brick wall in this matchup, not allowing a single goal after Glacier played the entire second half one man down after a red card penalty.

In extra time, less than a minute into the first period, the deadlock was finally broken by Nash Lisowski, who found the back of the net and scored the one and only goal of the match.

Despite a two-man advantage for the Broncs in extra time after another Wolfpack red card, Glacier held on for the 1-0 victory to move on to the semifinal round.
