LVS drops game against UIL 6A State Champs; JV continue at Bear Cave Classic

The Lady Vikings have played the #1, #8, #13, #20, & #34 teams in the land and tonight they took on the #5 team, Coppell, the defending UIL 6A State Champs.

On 2 out of 3 corners in the first half, Coppell midfielder, Shay Johnson struck to give the Cowgirls all they needed to shutout the Lady Vikings, 2-0.

The first half saw the majority of the play in the Lady Vikings half, aside from a couple counter attacks.  

The second half was a bit different but the stubborn and solid Cowgirl defense didn't allow much breathing room.  The Lady Vikings mounted several opportunities but were not able to cut the lead in half and were shutout only for the 4th time all year.

"We gave up a couple free opportunities in the first half but were able to get a decent rhythm the second half but our half chances need to be more dangerous.  We were a different team in the second half and a lot of players stepped up, " said LVS head coach, Jay Fitzgerald.

The Lady Vikings drop to 11-6-2 on the season going into the final match of the Allison Horn Memorial, tomorrow against the Lady Indians of Keller High School at 11:00am at Colleyville Heritage High School.

The JV take their 7-0 Bear Cave Classic opening win to the test against Cedar Hill for an opportunity to play in the championship game tomorrow afternoon at 3:00pm at Brewer High School.  Their first match of the day will be at 9:00am.
