LVS shuttin' out opponents on the road; Happy Valentine's Day from LVS

Nolan Catholic men's & women's hoops, men's soccer, and baseball were all in action at home while the JV and Varsity LVS teams traveled to John Paul II last night with positive results.  The JV brought home a 1-1 draw which moved them to 4-2-2 in district keeping them in 2nd place as they race toward the post-season.  Katherine Perez got the Lady Vikings only goal off an assist from Rachel Firestone with the Lady Cardinals equalizing in the last moments of the match.

The varsity improved to 8-5-0 in district play on a pair of goals by Hannah Allred and a long range blast from Megan Bettinger to seal the 3-0 victory for the Lady Vikings.  Briana Salinas and Sarah Becan controlled the game in goal, teaming up for the shutout, the 9th overall this season.

"We weren't ourselves tonight but we scored 3 top class goals and just didn't want to get scored on, " commented LVS head coach, Jay Fitzgerald.

To start the scoring off on the night, Hannah Allred took a well played ball from Emily Keoughan only to get herself around the John Paul goalkeeper and pass into an open net in the 15th minute of play.

With a 1-0 halftime lead the Lady Vikings picked up the pressure in the second half.  The lead was doubled when Kate Kleiser placed a perfect ball to the head of Allred in the 59th minute.  Just 8 minutes later, Katee Kimmey dug a ball out of pressure and clipped a ball back to Bettinger who, from 35 yards out, picked out the top corner to seal the victory for the Lady Vikings.

The JV host Keller High School TONIGHT for an early #lvsVALENTINESday kick off at 4:30pm at Doskocil Stadium.  The love is definite in the air the Valentine's Day.  CLICK HERE for #lvsVALENTINESday video.
