LVS Wins Final District Game; Head to Austin for First Round of Playoffs

The Lady Vikings scored in the 2nd minute to take a 1-0 lead on TCA on the road last Thursday night. Megan Billingsley scored her 7th goal of the season off an assist from Annie Smithey. Nolan continued to put pressure on the Lady Trojans and got a second goal with 7 minutes to play from Smithey off a cross. Smithey's 4th goal of her senior season turned out to be the game-winner as TCA converted on a penalty kick with about 5 to play in the game.

It is gridlock at the top of the table as 3 teams, including Nolan, are tied for 2nd place. With John Paul defeating Lynch on Friday and Liberty holding the tie-breaker over the Lady Vikings, Nolan will finish 4th in district.

The 4th place finish will mean that the Lady Vikings will travel to Austin on Friday to take on Austin St. Michael's who finished 3rd in District 2. That game will kick-off at 4pm.
