PORTLAND — The Horizon Christian High School girls soccer team got its season off to a flying start.

The Hawks opened the 2008 season by scoring a dramatic come-from-behind 2-1 win over Portland Christian in a non-league match played last Thursday at Portland Christian.

“It was a huge win to start the season,” Horizon Christian coach Corey Hand said. “We’ve played Portland Christian every year since the school opened and we never beat them before.”

In last Thursday’s match, Portland Christian grabbed a 1-0 lead with a goal midway through the first half. The Royals still held the 1-0 advantage going into halftime.

But Horizon Christian, which played a strong first half, turned things up another notch in the second half.
