It took just 6 seconds; JV Starts Tomorrow

The opening match for the EMS X-Town Shootout started out just 6 seconds into the match for the Lady Vikings as Katy Hirschfeld sent a ball to Gwennie Puente out wide and before you could blink, it was 1-0, Lady Vikings.

The temperature hoovered around 20 degrees during the match.  Nolan Catholic's only option to stay warm was to keep the pressure on.  They built a 4-0 halftime lead as Puente added 2 more and Jordan Gamboa with another.

With a 30 mph wind in their face and the temperature continuing to drop, the second half started for the Lady Vikings and they were able to pick off where they left off, adding constant pressure on Haltom.

"The conditions today were brutal and our ladies played with poise, patience, and pace," said LVS head coach, Jay Fitzgerald.

The Lady Vikings set the tone for the tournament with a 5-0 win improving their record to 11-1-4.  They will take on Diamond Hill tomorrow at 4:00pm.

All other games today we cancelled due to the failing temperatures and will be played in the morning.

The JV soccer team will take on Plano West in their opening round match in the Northwest High School JV Tournament.  That match was originally schedule for 1:30pm but has been moved a hour later to kick-off at 2:30pm.  Their 2nd match of the day will start 20 minutes earlier and kick-off at 7:10pm against McKinney Boyd.  Both matches are at Northwest High School's, Texan Field, and will consist of 25 minute halves.
