Legendary golfer Tiger Woods rode the highs and lows of Benjamin’s dramatic rally in the Class 2A state semifinals just like every soccer parent in DeLand on Thursday evening.

In the end, Woods’ daughter, Sam, saw her high school soccer career extended with a 2-1 Benjamin victory over Lakeland Christian at Spec Martin Stadium.

Woods, a senior defender, led the Bucs’ back line,

which conceded a goal in the first half but shut out Lakeland Christian over the second half of regulation and two extra time periods before Sienna Barboni’s electric match-winner.

Benjamin will face the winner of Ransom Everglades (14-4-3) and Episcopal School of Jacksonville (13-5-3) in the state final on Saturday at 7 p.m.

Woods has three goals and an assist this year for Benjamin (10-5-3) playing in a largely defensive role. She scored the game-winner on a header for the Bucs against King’s Academy in the district championship match.

After the completion of Benjamin’s soccer season, Woods will move into the spring track and field season, where she competes in hurdles and middle distance events with Benjamin.
