3 down and 1 up: LVS wraps up NEPS Tomorrow

After taking on the #1 team in the land the night before, the Lady Vikings started a bit slow but finished with a flurry of goals in a span of 17 minutes.  Before you knew it, Belton was up 3-0 at the half but the Lady Vikings had an answer for each one and then one more.

The second half whistle blew and the race started.  Megan Bettinger got Nolan Catholic on the board as she cleaned up a Gabbie Puente rebound inside the Belton, 18 yard box and 17 minutes later it was Belton who was chasing the game.

With Nolan down by just 2 now, Gabbie Puente converted on a penalty kick, Regan Hafer evened the score off a corner from Puente, and the Puente put the Vikings ahead for good off an assist from Marissa Baldasti.

"I am real proud of this team, they faced some adversity today and they expressed themselves and showed true relentless character," said Lady Vikings head coach, Jay Fitzgerald.

Nolan Catholic improved to 9-3-0 with their 4-3 NEPS win over Belton today and will take on Fort Bend Clements tomorrow at 12:00pm at Doskocil Stadium.
