LVS suffer lopsidded result

The Lady Vikings return home tonight to host Ursuline, after a five match road swing.   The JV kicked off the evening and didn't disappoint.  The game was end to end the entire 1st half and it wasn't until the 2nd half when Emma Hernandez scored off an assist from Koryn Brookshire for put Nolan ahead.

The game continued to go back and forth with both teams take chances and late in the game, the Lady Bears were able to equalize and the game ended 1-1 moving the Lady Vikings to 1-1-1 on the season.

The varsity game followed in front of an exciting crowd and the game didn't necessarily go the way the Lady Vikings wanted.  The end to end action continued just where the JV game left off with Nolan firing off some shots with a couple just getting deflected and the Ursuline goalkeeper, Leah Archer, coming up big on a couple keeping the Lady Vikings off the board.

LVS head coach, Jay Fitzgerald said, "We started very strong and if our recognition was a bit better this game could have had a different beginning."

Ursuline took control of the match scoring in the 11th minute and added 2 more unanswered goals to take a 3-0 halftime lead.  

The Lady Bears added a couple more goals in the second half before Katee Kimmey scored off a nice serve from Mikaela Gamboa but tonight Ursuline was able to get the result and move to 6-0 on the season.
Fitzgerald continued, "We started strong and we finished strong but Ursuline was too dangerous tonight in the wide areas of the field and they took advantage.  But I have to hand it to our group, they fought the uphill battle through the final whistle."

The Lady Vikings return to Doskocil Stadium to take on Hockaday on Thursday night at 5:00pm and 7:00pm.
