Varsity finishes strong in Allison Horn Memorial; District tonight at home

The Lady Vikings took to the field last Friday afternoon against the nations #1 team, Flower Mound Marcus in a torrential downpour in the Allison Horn Memorial.  Two quality goals by the Mauraders had them a 2-0 halftime lead before trading opportunities with the Lady Vikings the entire first half.

"We stayed organized for the entire game and we will look at the moments in this game that could have turned the tides, " LVS head coach, Jay Fitzgerald said.

The Lady Vikings kept the pressure on the entire second half and just were not able to convert losing this one by a score of 3-0.  It was a different story the next day against host, Colleyville Heritage in the showcases final day.  The response was a relentless competitive spirit as the Lady Vikings took to the field on Saturday morning.  Hannah Allred and Emily Keoughan combined with each other for 4 of the Lady Vikings 5 goals on the day.  Junior, Emma Christiansen scored as well.

"This event always gives us a sense of who we are," Fitzgerald commented.

The Lady Vikings are almost halfway through their season with a 6-4-0 overall record (4-1-0 in district play).  They have outscored opponents 27-9, only 10 games into the season and return home tonight against John Paul II at Doskocil Stadium.  The JV kickoff at 5pm and the varsity follow at 7pm.

Come on out early as the men take on TCA at 1pm and 3pm at Doskocil Stadium.
