The Parkview Lady Vikings beat new District opponent the Branson Pirates on Monday night 6-1. Shelby Stewart started off the scoring in the first two minutes of the match by beating a defender before slotting the ball past the keeper for a 1-0 lead. Kelsey Loderhose also had two first half goals, with both assists coming from Jessica Maerz. The half ended with a 3-0 score.
In the second half the Vikings gave up a goal and scored three more of their own. Jessica Maerz scored a goal with the assist from Holly Messick, followed by Molly Robb’s first goal of the season on an assist from Elyssa Williamson. Robb has started the last three games for the Vikings in place of the injured Melanie Allen. The final goal came unassisted from Maerz again.
Scoring summary: Jessica Maerz 2g 2a, Kelsey Loderhose 2g, Shelby Stewart 1g, Molly Robb 1g, Holly Messick 1a, Elyssa Williamson 1a.
The Junior Varsity squad tied their match 1-1. The Vikings scored first with a great goal coming early in the match. Amanda Leckrone lofted a ball over two defenders, and Alex Shupert ran onto it, took a touch, and drilled the ball past the keeper into the back of the net. The Vikings got a bit self-satisfied though, and didn’t bother finishing any more chances in either half (and there were many to finish). Parkview gave up a break-away goal in the second half, and couldn’t get back on top. The JV is now 4-3-2.
Scoring summary: Alex Shupert 1g, Amanda Leckrone 1a
