Nile C. Kinnick’s boys and girls soccer team made school history some 1,000 miles apart on Friday afternoon at Yokosuka Naval Base and Kadena Air Base - with two wildly different outcomes in their respective Far East Division I soccer tournament finals.

Maggie Donnelly, Jenna Lynch and Jillian Mock each scored in the shootout at Yokosuka as the Red Devils outlasted Kadena 3-2 in penalty kicks to win their second D-I Tournament title in three years. Kinnick’s girls have played in the Far East finals the last five years.
