After playing Thursday night against Kickapoo and losing in shootouts, the Vikings faced an equally tough Ozark squad on Friday. The result of the match was a 5-1 loss to the Ozark Tigers, ending a long week for the Vikings in which they faced Camdenton, Kickapoo, and Ozark. The lone goal for the Vikings came on a shot from the mark by sophomore striker Shelby Stewart. Following a foul in the penalty area by an Ozark player, Stewart stepped up and confidently struck shot into the upper corner of the goal.

The Junior Varsity match started off well for the Vikings, but did not end well, as the Vikings lost the match 3-1. The first goal of the game found freshmen striker Lana Aberle challenging a 50-50 ball with the Tiger’s keeper on the edge of the penalty area, winning control of the ball, and making a well placed pass across the box to freshmen striker Sarah Stutz. Stutz was able to hit the shot in one touch before the keeper could get back into position, giving Parkview a 1-0 lead.

The Vikings next match is on Monday as they travel to West Plains to face the Zizzers. The Junior Varsity squad plays first at 5:00, with the Varsity to follow. The varsity squad has seen West Plains once already this year, taking home a 3-1 win and seventh place in the West Plains tournament.
