With a flick of the toe, Maggie Hanusek put Lambert girls soccer into uncharted territory. The junior forward scored in the 62nd minute for the only goal the Lady Longhorns needed in a 1-0 victory against Lassiter on Tuesday at home to advance to the state championship for the first time in program history. Lambert (19-2) will face Grayson, a 2-0 winner over Peachtree Ridge, on Saturday at 5 p.m., at Mercer University Five Star Stadium in Macon for the Class AAAAAA title.
