Something happened to the Mars girls' soccer team Wednesday that had not taken place in quite some time.
The Planets lost a match.
Lydia Sargent scored with 3:13 left in the first overtime and Class AAA No. 3 Pine-Richland hung on to defeat visiting Class AA No. 1 Mars, 4-3, in a non-section match.
