WEXFORD — Butler's girls soccer team could've been swept away by the tide of momentum created when defending WPIAL champion Penn-Trafford scored less than four minutes in to Saturday's Class 4A first-round playoff game.

Instead, the Golden Tornado soon turned the tables on the Warriors and spent the vast majority of the afternoon as aggressors while earning a 4-1 victory at North Allegheny's Newman Stadium.

Butler (11-5-2) will face third-seeded Peters Township in a quarterfinal Wednesday at a site and time to be determined.

Saturday's win marked Butler's first postseason victory since the program made a run to the state championship game in 2003.

“Penn-Trafford's strength is in the center-midfield,” said Butler coach Steve Perri. “They are very busy there, always on the ball. One of our strengths is our play on the perimeter, so our focus was to get the ball to the edge.”
