A late error cost Davis High girls soccer a share of the Region 1 title on Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2026, in Farmington. Farmington secured an outright region title following a 4-3 victory, preventing Davis from potentially sharing the championship with Layton.

Maudsley scored two goals in the match, including one before halftime to tie the game 2-2. Earlier in the game, Farmington took an initial 1-0 lead through a goal by Braelyn Perrero off a corner kick by Morgan Snell. Oaklee Stanford added a second goal for Farmington roughly five minutes into the second half, making the score 2-1 before Maudsley's late equalizer.
