Lewis-Palmer girls soccer got two second-half goals to beat Windsor 2-0 and advance to the Class 4A championship game.
Annica Fletemeyer scored the first goal for the eighth-seeded Rangers, and Brianna Alger added a second 15 minutes later.
It is the seventh appearance in a state championship game for Lewis-Palmer. The Rangers have won three championships, with the most recent coming in 1996.

(3) Cheyenne Mountain 2, (10) Ponderosa 1
Cheyenne Mountain will have a shot at a three-peat. The two-time defending 4A champions rallied to beat Ponderosa in the semifinals on Saturday.
The two teams were deadlocked at 1 at halftime — and then an hour-long lightning delay hit.
Hannah Gerdin scored what proved to be the game-winner in the second half.
Ponderosa actually led 1-0 in the first half, but Lauren Jones answered two minutes after that for Cheyenne Mountain.
This will be Cheyenne Mountain’s seventh appearance in a state title game. The program has six titles.
They will face Lewis-Palmer for the 4A title next Wednesday. The two teams played to a scoreless tie on April 9.
