Parkview beat Lebanon 4-0 on Tuesday night. The Vikings got their eighth win of the season, resting both starting center-mids in the process due to lingering issues that should not keep them out of Thursdays match. Tanner Bennett got the scoring started in the first half from a nice cross from Jared Moore, followed up nicely by another Moore to Bennett goal also in the first half. The Vikings dominated offensively, but played too many direct, overly optimistic balls in past the defense that the Lebanon keeper cleaned up nicely.

In the second half, Jared Moore received a nice pass from Brian Otradovec (playing center-mid for the majority of the match) and slotted it into the side netting for the third team goal of the night. The scoring was capped off by Moore again, this time off a cross from TJ Joy.

Scoring summary: Jared Moore 2g 2a, Tanner Bennett 2g, Brian Otradovec 1a, TJ Joy 1a, Jon Malter- Shutout

The JV match had a similar feel to the Varsity one, as the Vikings won 3-0. Pedro Pitonez scored off a pretty cross from TJ Joy, followed by two goals from Juan Garcia, who has played only 4 games all season due to a back injury. Garcia’s first was a header from a Chris Lawson cross, and his second was a unassisted finish thanks to tough defending as a forward.

Scoring summary: Juan Garcia 2g, Pedro Pitonez 1g, TJ Joy 1a, Chris Lawson 1a, Evin Barber- Shutout

The Vikings will face a tough Conference and District opponent in Glendale on Thursday at the PHS grass field. The Varsity squads will kick off at 4:00pm, and the JVs will follow around 5:45pm.
