District Updates - Week #3

The Lady Vikings had 2 matches on the week as they traveled to Plano Prestonwood on Monday and played host to John Paul II on Wednesday - both resulting in victories to move to 6-0-0 on the season and in district play. Prestonwood played great hosts to Nolan as after the game all the players brought Gatorade bottles to our players - it was a very nice jesture. The Lady Vikings were up 6-0 at halftime on goals Sam Clark, Presley Smith, Mallory Baum, Maygan Ditucci, and 2 by Chelsea Heimann. Annie Smithey and Emily Grider added 1 each in the 2nd half. It was a very balanced game where the buid-up play came from a lot of different areans of the field resulting in goals being scored from different spots as well. The final score was 8-0. On Wednesday, John Paul II looked to avenge a State Semi-Final loss to the Lady Vikings. The Lady Vikings got better as the game went on - were fkat and not sharp at all in the first half. The 2nd half was a different story - Morgan Ulliman was coming off a concussion she suffered a week ago but found a way to to find the back of the net. The Lady Vikings were knocking at the door the entire night and then Mallory Baum finally broke through to put the Lady Vikings on the board, outside backs Chelsea Heimann and Kaytee O'Brien were also involved in the play. The final score was 2-0. Newcomers Annie Smithey, Lauren Gonzalez, and Haley Spotts added an extra dimension to the game and helped get a consistent rhythm for the group.
