The Lady Vikings continued district play after the Thanksgiving break with a solid 3-1 win over Liberty Christian. All 4 goals were scored in the second half, the first one coming off the kick-off for Liberty.
LVS head coach, Jay Fitzgerald commented on the Liberty goal, "We know better then that but it ended up being a wake up call and it just got better from then on out for us... what a way to finish out the game from our team."
Liberty is a relentless team that can strike at anytime. They have the athleticism and grit to make teams pay for falling asleep. The Lady Vikings responded well after an average opening half. The ball movement was solid but the final pass or final decision was not consistent. With only 2 shots conceded during the entire match, the Lady Vikings were able to string together good moments leading to 3 top class goals.
Senior, Hannah Allred had 3 assists on the night with Katee Kimmey, Brennan Flynn, and Megan Bettinger with a goal a piece. "The goals were absolute class," Fitzgerald said.
