Mountain View clinched a share of the Lackawanna League Division III girls soccer title with a 2-1 win over Montrose on Thursday.
Brianna Spence scored for Montrose, giving the Meteors the early 1-0 lead; but the Eagles answered back with Same Jones scoring off an assist by Karlee Weida.
Weida then scored with an assist by Hannah Richner to put the Lady Eagles up 2-1.
Mountain View goalie Hannah Phillips had 11 saves; Montrose goalie Katie Puterbaugh had 6.
Montrose is now 6-1 on the season; while Mountain View is 7-1. The Eagles only loss came from Lakeland; while the Meteors beat the Chiefs when the teams met just two weeks ago.

Montrose is still in the hunt for a share of the Division title and face Carbondale on Tuesday, Oct. 20.
At Elk Lake, the Lady Warriors fell to Dunmore, 9-2, on Thursday.
Shelby Valvano and Amanda Mowry scored for Elk Lake.
On Tuesday, Lakeland defeated Mountain View, 1-0. Goalkeeper Hannah Phillips had 10 saves.
The Lady Eagles, who outscored their first six opponents, 41-1, got a good chance in the 57th minute.
Richner lined a direct kick to Ali Showalter but it went long and out of play.
Eleven minutes later, Sam Jones made a run in the box, made a move on her defender and got control of the ball but her shot was deflected to the right of the post to set up a corner kick but they were unable to convert.
Mountain View’s last opportunity came with 1:20 to go when Lakeland was whistled for a foul. Lucy Adams lined a direct kick from 35 yards out into the box and Showalter made a run for it but couldn’t get there in time.
Despite the loss, a win in Thursday’s regular-season finale against Montrose would give the Lady Eagles at least a share of the regular-season division title.
“We just weren’t winning those 50-50 balls that we should have been,” Mountain View coach Erika Gething said. “We put it in a lot of effort but we just couldn’t convert it to a goal. It’s just motivation to work harder and sometimes you need that. The girls have done a great job this season and sometimes you just need something to keep you going and to keep working hard for the rest of the season.”
At Forest City on Tuesday, Amanda Mowry and Lydia Hunsinger each scored two goals to lead Elk Lake, 6-0, over the Lady Foresters.
Tiffany Toth made 12 saves to earn the shutout.
At Montrose, Madison Gilhool had a hat trick to help the Lady Meteors move to a 6-0 record Tuesday with an 11-0 win over Mid Valley.
Alexis Dabulewicz and Lauren Andre each added two goals for the winners.
