Lady Vikings Comeback Falls Short; Puente Gets 2 More

You know when high school soccer season is here, the temperature drops and the wind picks up. Nolan Catholics arch rival, Ursuline comes to town and the match didn't disappoint. This is arguably one of the greatest rivalries in high school sports.

Ursuline's Candace Johnson and Kellie Schnurr put the Lady Bears up by two but the relentless Lady Vikings fought right back and evened the score with 2 more goals from freshman, forward Gwennie Puente. "Gwennie is a special player," head coach Todd Fitzgerald said. Puente has scored 5 goals in the first 2 matches of the season.

Nolan Catholic fought back but it wasn't enough as with less than 2 minutes to play, Kate Hadju scored the game-winner for the Bears. Fitzgerald mentioned that, "Ursuline knows how to win matches like this but we are real, real close."

The Lady Vikings drop to 1-1 while Ursuline moves to 1-0. LVS heads out on the road next Monday night to take on Bishop Lynch. Lynch defeated TCA last night in double overtime 1-0.
