Lady Vikings Explode for 8 Goals in Home Opener; Freshman Hat Trick

Freshman, forward Gwennie Puente scored her first, second, and third goals of her high school career to complete the hat trick in her first high school game. With a 4-0 lead at halftime, the Lady Vikings were well on their way to a 1-0 start in district. There was a good rythme in the game and a good flow about things.

"We wanted a strong start and with 3 goals in the first 10 minutes, our team responded," said LVS head coach, Todd Fitzgerald. Last years TAPPS 1-5A Newcomer of the Year, sophomore, Elizabeth Havenhill also scored multiple goals with 2 unassisted goals in the second half.

Seniors Lindsay Murray and Alex Perez added a goal a piece as well as junior, Maggie Kleiser.

Fitzgerald went on to say, "These young ladies have worked extremely hard in the off-season and we feel like we have a good team identity right now."

The Lady Vikings are back at it again tomorrow night as they play host to Ursuline in a re-match of last years State Championship. The JV match will kick-off at 6:30pm with the varsity following at 8:00pm at Doskocil Stadium.
