Photos from Monday’s St. Paul girls soccer NVL Tournament semifinal

Here are photos I took at Monday night’s NVL girls soccer tournament semifinal between St. Paul Catholic and Woodland at Ray Snyder Sr. Field in Waterbury. The Falcons gave a good effort, but the top-seeded Hawks were too tough and won 2-0 to move on to the league final.
