Regional Champs once again; On to the Final Four


Lady Vikings win 12th straight Regional Championship, their 23rd overall. Gwennie Puente scores her 18th just into the 2nd half to put Nolan on the board. Kathleen Keoghan played a ball out of the back and Emma Chandlee collected the ball at midfield who slipped a nice ball over the top to Puente for the first goal.

Chelsea Surpris drove a free kick just inside the near post for her 3rd of the year which turned out to be the game-winner. The Lady Vikings gave one up in the 73rd minute but not before senior, captain Megan Billingsley put the Lady Vikings up by 3 off a corner from Surpris.

Tonights game saw the Lady Vikings outshoot Antonian 22-2 with a 8-0 edge in corner kicks. Now at 13-7-7 on the year, the Lady Vikings look to advance to their 12th straight State Championship match.

The Lady Vikings will head to the Final Four next Thursday in San Antonio. The 1st semi-final will be played at 9am (Ursuline vs Bishop Lynch) and the 2nd semi-final will match up the Lady Vikings against St. Agnes. The Lady Tigers defeated John Paul in a shootout 3-1.
