Lady Vikings look to even their record at the NEPS

Kicking off the NEPS with the nations #1 team, Plano West was an opportunity, an opportunity that saw the Lady Vikings up 1-0 on an Emma Chandlee goal in the 10th minute. Up a goal on the best team in the country? Only to be down a goal a halftime. The highs and lows of sports, the "ups and the downs", that is what this Lady Vikings group has dealt with the entire season. The match ended up 4-1, but at the end it didn't feel like a 3 goal loss. A lot of good came of the match. That good spilled into the next match against Tyler Lee as the Lady Vikings found the back of the next twice with 2 goals from Gwennie Puente and improved to 8-4-0. They are back on track or are they? No bus as it broke down taking the men's soccer team to the Jesuit Inviational last night, so now they have to travel to TCU to play in the first of 2 featured matches vs Liberty High School from Brentwood, California, in a carpool. The team meets and discusses their game plan for the match ahead. The match starts and the Lady Vikings are taking advantage of what was discussed with them during the pre-game. One good thing leads to another and opportunities come in waves but nothing really dangerous but could very well easily have resulted in goals. Liberty was a very disciplined team, very organized and a good purpse to what they are doing. If you let them hang around they will haunt you and that is exactly what they did in the 65th minute as they poked one in and that dropped the Lady Vikings to 8-5-0 and with Martin on the schedule tomorrow during Day 3 of the National Elite Prep Showcase and win or a tie is what the Lady Vikings will be happy with.
