Heritage Hall girls soccer is once again in the Class 5A state semifinals.

The Chargers topped Carl Albert 3-0 on Friday to return to the state semifinals a year after losing to Bishop Kelley.

Carl Albert held Heritage Hall scoreless through the first half, but the floodgates opened in the final 45 minutes.

Heritage Hall extended its win streak to nine games with the 3-0 victory. They’ll face Claremore, the defending 5A state champions, on Tuesday.
