The Seneca Valley girls soccer team received goals from six different players en route to a 7-0 victory over Southmoreland in the first round of the PIAA Class AAA playoffs Tuesday at Chartiers Valley.

Madison Kozlowski tallied two goals for the Raiders while Morgan Williams, Katie Riley, Shayna Elser, Sarah Stevens and Mandy Kasperski added one apiece for the WPIAL champions.

The shutout was the Raiders' ninth of the season.

Seneca Valley won the WPIAL championship in 2007, but it followed up with a first-round PIAA loss.

"We learned from that a couple of years ago," said Raiders coach Dave Sylvester. "We were still kind of celebrating that (WPIAL title) win.

"We hadn't had a lot of time to talk since (Saturday). It's just been a couple of days, but when we scored three minutes into the game, it kind of set the tone," Sylvester added.

Seneca Valley (22-0-1) advances to Saturday's quarterfinal round, where it will face Norwin (17-4-1), a 7-0 victor over Schenley.

"Getting the (first-round) win, the excitement is there of getting back in," said Sylvester. "We'll have out hands full with Norwin, that's for sure."
