Down 2 goals early in the game, the Lady Vikings fight back to cut the Cathedral Catholic lead in half just before the end of the 1st half on a goal by Regan Hafer.
A very patient Lady Vikings side was able to get themselves back in the game. The light at the end of the tunnel was right in front of them but they fell short late in the game. With 8 minutes to play the Lady Dons extended their lead with 2 goals by Arizona commit, Dana Dalton.
The Lady Vikings were not done and continued to push forward but the Dons goalkeeper, Emily Sanchez was up to the task as she was able to smoother the ball away from LVS senior, Gwennie Puente on her breakaway attempt.
Nolan head coach, Jay Fitzgerald said, "We had a game plan that gave us a chance to win this game tonight and when we are patient, we are dangerous. That team is very good but they had to fight to win it. The 4-1 win was not a sign of how close we were."
NEPS continues tomorrow but each team will only play 1 game a piece and the Lady Vikings get Day 2 kicked off at 12:00pm at Doskocil Stadium against Belton.
While the varsity was up against #1, the JV were battling it out in the GCISD JV Invitational and they get an impressive win tonight over host Grapevine.
Jordan Hisel provides the games only goal but that was all the Lady Vikings needed to improve to 6-3-0 with their 1-0 win tonight.
The JV continues play tomorrow against Colleyville Heritage at 3:00pm at Grapevine Middle School Stadium. This match was originally suppose to kick-off at 4:00pm but due to the cold weather the games tomorrow were moved up an hour.
