LVS Double Double; National Showcase starts Thursday

The Lady Vikings continued their winning ways with a 6-0 district win over Plano Prestonwood, improving to 5-1-0 on the season.  The Lady Vikings have spread the scoring out pretty much all year but tonight Katy Hirschfeld and Emily Keoughan each doubled up with 2 goals a piece.

Gwennie Puente scored her 12th goal of the season and Sarah Brown scored her first.

"We didn't start the game off as well as I expected but we definitely progressed as the match went on," said head coach, Jay Fitzgerald.  Fitzgerald continued to say, "We challenged them at halftime and they responded."

Goals came from different areas of the field as the Lady Vikings were able to build the ball showing much more patience after winning it back.

The next district game isn't for a week but the National Elite Prep Showcase comes first.  The nations top showcase event is hosted by Nolan Catholic.  This invitation only event, formerly the Nolan Showcase, pits the best teams in the country against each other.

The Lady Vikings will be taking on the nations #5 and #22 teams in Flower Mound and California's, Westview from San Diego.

The NEPS kicks off on Thursday at Nolan Catholic, Gateway Park Turf, and Dragon Stadium.  Nolan starts with Round Rock on Thursday at 1:00pm at Doskocil Stadium.
