The Parkview Lady Vikings dropped a close match against Glendale Tuesday night, losing 4-3 at home. The Parkview goals came from striker Shelby Stewart (sophomore), striker Emmy Dale (senior), and midfielder Jessica Maerz (sophomore), while Glendale got goals from Megan Gerrad, Emily Cline, and two from Jamie Bond. The Vikings battled well against the Falcons, after going down 1-0 getting an equalizer, and then a second goal to make the score 2-1 Parkview. After Glendale tied the game at 2, the Vikings were able to take the lead again, making the halftime score 3-2 Parkview. The Falcons game out strong in the second half getting an early goal, and head coach Clint Nurnberg was given his second yellow card of the match (the first for a player’s jewelry, the second for arguing a no-call), resulting in him being ejected. The Falcons got another goal early in the second half, taking a 4-3 lead. That would turn out to be all the goal scoring for the rest of the match, as the Vikings fought hard and had their chances, but although they were able to defend well, Parkview was unable to finish another chance.

The JV Vikings lost their match to Glendale 0-1. Strong play by the defense kept them in the match, but Parkview was unable to capitalize on their scoring opportunities.

The Vikings play a Varsity-only match tomorrow, at home; kickoff is at 5:00 p.m.
