Gabbie Puente got the Lady Vikings on the board in the 14th minute after earning a free kick from just outside the corner of the 18 yard box. Puente sent a well placed ball over the top of the John Paul II goalkeeper who finished with 7 saves on the evening.
Gwennie Puente and Megan Bettinger added to the Lady Vikings lead in the 2nd half in the 46th and 58th minutes. Bettinger, a freshman, scored her first career high school goal on the evening.
"This was one of the most efficient games we have played in a long time, " commented LVS head coach, Jay Fitzgerald, "we had a good rhythm the entire game and our attacking mentality was impressive."
Senior, GK, Piper Head earned the shutout on the evening with 5 saves. The Lady Vikings outshot the Cardinals 17-7 and are 1-0-0 on the season.
Nolan will travel to Parish Episcopal on Thursday. Kick-Off is at 6:30pm.
The JV team dropped their district opener to John Paul II by a score of 3-1. Even though the Lady Vikes scored the games first goal, John Paul scored 3 unanswered goals.
Mikaela Gamboa scored on her first high school shot to put the Lady Vikings up 1-0. That was all the scoring the Lady Vikings would do on the evening. JV head coach, Alex Mechalske said, "We had some very dangerous moments on the day but we just did not execute early on goal, got behind, and just couldn't get that next one to go in."
The JV doesn't play their next game until November 20th at home against Bishop Lynch on November 20th but will get a friendly or 2 in prior to that next district match-up.
