The Parkview Lady Vikings Varsity squad lost to the Lebanon Yellow-Jackets 3-2 Thursday night, in a hard fought match on a fairly wet but quite playable field. Lebanon was able to control possession in the majority of the first half, but the Vikings defense and goalkeeping were able to keep it a low scoring affair throughout the first half. Down 1-0 at the break, the Vikings came out a new team in the second half, getting a game tying goal from senior striker Emmy Dale on a nice pass from sophomore midfielder Jessica Maerz. After going down 2-1 the Vikings were again able to again get a quick equalizer as Maerz got one of her own (assist by Melanie Allen, sophomore). Late in the match the Jackets were awarded a shot from the mark, and Emilie Boher was able to put it away to give Lebanon the win.
In the Junior Varsity match the Lady Vikings were faced with an equal opponent in Lebanon, as the game ended in a 1-1 tie. The Vikings got their goal midway through the second half with a long shot from freshman striker Molly Robb, who was able to beat the keeper over the top. The Jackets, again, were awarded a penalty kick with two minutes remaining and put it away, knotting the game at one goal a side.
Parkview plays Friday at Neosho, with the Junior Varsity slotted to play first, and the Varsity to follow.
