LVS Home Opener a Success

It must be soccer season.  The bitter north wind kicked in just in time and slowed the Lady Vikings down for just a little bit until Gwennie Puente opened the scoring in the 8th minute and doubled that lead just 16 minutes later.  Jordan Gamboa and Gabbie Puente had the helpers.
The Lady Vikings continued their push and got 2 more goals, the first one on a PK and the second one off a corner.  Emily Keoughan got taken down in the box as she made her way from midfield, and converted on the attempt.  Centerback, Regan Hafer took a Gabbie Puente corner and headed it over the outstretched arms of the Prestonwood goalkeeper to build on the lead, going into halftime on top 4-0.

Keoughan added 2 more goals in the second half completing the hat trick.  Rebecca Traynor and Jordan Gamboa had the assists on Keoughan's, two, second half goals.

Kat Paul finished off the afternoon with her first goal of the season with 12 minutes to go.

Head coach, Jay Fitzgerald mentioned, "we created and scored goals from a lot of different areas on the field."

The Lady Vikings improve to 4-0-0 overall and in district play.  They will go on the road again Monday to take on Liberty Christian before returning home on Thursday to host Bishop Lynch.
