Salisbury’s girls soccer team plays at home tonight at 6 p.m.  in the fourth round of the 2A state playoffs.

The Hornets (24-0) are enjoying the best season in program history and are on the longest playoff run in county history in girls soccer.

The top-seeded Hornets play fourth-seeded Forbush (23-2-1) tonight. Forbush has demolished Wheatmore, West Iredell and Hibriten in the playoffs by a combined 14-0.

Salisbury has won against Patton, South Rowan and Owen in the playoffs, scoring 11 goals while allowing one. That one goal allowed came late against Patton with the match well  in hand.

The only losses for Forbush came in March against East power First Flight (22-2-1) and 4A West Forsyth. Forbush has won seven straight since battling to a scoreless tie with 4A Reagan.

Forbush has ended the playoff runs for two recent Salisbury clubs, beating the 2016 Hornets in the second round, 7-2, and stopping the  2014 Hornets, 6-0, in the third round.
