Efficient win for Lady Vikings; A. Kimmey gets her first

Seven players get on the score sheet tonight.  A well balanced performance give the Lady Vikings their 11th district win tonight to close the gap at the top of the table.  With goals scored in the first 5 minutes of both halves the distribution of opportunities was impressive.

Monday Night Futbol at Doskocil was exciting especially after adding 3 goals in the last 5 minutes of regulation, a timely response to conceding in the 74th minute.

Megan Bettinger started the scoring in the 4th minute and Katee Kimmey scored the eventual game-winner in the 34th minute.

Just 2 minutes into the second half, Brennan Flynn took a well timed first time strike from 22 yards out and put it in the top corner for the 3rd goal of the night.  Hannah Allred added 2 more goals adding to her season total of 26.

But it was freshman, Allee Kimmey who scored her first career high school goal tonight spinning around the TCA goalkeeper and picking up a loose ball in the 6 yard box.

Madeline Wiche came off the bench midway through the 1st half linking the game very well accounting for 2 assists on the night to Flynn and Allred.

Sophomore, goalkeeper Sarah Becan didn't have to touch the ball until late in the 1st half but cleaned up the box very well as the game grew older despite giving up a late tally with 6 minutes to play.

Head coach Jay Fitzgerald commented, "We were extremely balanced tonight, not overly clean, but everyone was involved and impactful.  Solid performance by our entire group."

The Lady Vikings improve to 18-8-2 on the year and take to the road on Thursday against Ursuline.  The varsity will play first at 5:00pm as the JV will follow at 6:30pm.

Wednesday night the JV will host John Paul II at Doskocil Stadium.  Kick-off is set for 5:30pm.
