UNION, Ky. - Ryle got an early goal from Dan Jensen then made it stick, holding on for the 1-0 win over St. Henry in Saturday's 9th Region title game to advance to the Sweet 16 for the fourth time in six years.
In the 12th minute, junior midfielder Jake Siemer collected the ball on the right side and led Jensen with a cross to the front of the goal. Jensen beat the defender to the ball, then slammed a kick past St. Henry keeper Shaun Cawley to put Ryle ahead.
The goal was all the Raiders needed, as they kept the pressure on the Crusaders. Ryle had eight shots on goal, while senior keeper Chris Froschauer was largely unchallenged in goal at their end.
"We knew it was going to be tough, even though we just beat them, 4-1, in the districts," said Froschauer. "The last time we played, it was 2-1, and it came down to penalty kicks. It went to PKs last year. We just always seem to play each other really well."
