Hillsborough soccer season saved?

The Hillsborough girls soccer team could save their season, after all.

The team, stunned with first-year coach John Matin quit two weeks into the season, could have a replacement in Daniel Garcia, a former Terriers coach who's spent the past six years with the Sickles program.

Hillsborough athletic director Bertha Baker interviewed Garcia Tuesday and said he's just going through the district process. Baker had said earlier this week that if they hadn't found a replacement by weeks end, the team could forfeit the rest of the season.

"If all things go well, we could have him starting by next week," Baker said. "The girls have been real troopers. They've taken everything in stride. They just want to play soccer."

The Terriers host Leto Friday.

Stay tuned for more updates.
