The Washington International girls’ soccer team lined up for penalty kicks Wednesday afternoon and faced its toughest challenge of the day — keeping its boys’ team quiet.

“We were so nervous we needed quiet,” senior defender Lea Tokinpar said.
After a pair of saves by sophomore Luciana Moore, sophomore Ela Kalra slotted home the winning penalty to give the fans a moment of unabated celebration as Washington International won the Potomac Valley Athletic Conference final, topping Oakcrest, 4-3 in penalty kicks, after regulation and overtime ended in a 2-2 tie.
