The Parkview Lady Vikings are now 9-2 after beating Branson 4-1.

The Vikings made up for some lost time in the scoring department, and were able to rest some players as well, scoring 4 on Monday night after tallying only 2 goals in the previous 3 games (while going 1-2 in the KHS tournament).

Parkview looked flat at the start of the match, and Branson scored an early goal on a set piece from 30 out. The Vikings evened up the score at halftime, and put three away in the second half.

The match featured the return of Kelsey Loderhose, who had missed 6 straight games. Prior to her injury, Loderhose had scored 7 goals in the first 4 games.

Scoring Summary: Shelby Stewart 2g, Jessica Maerz 1g 1a, Mary Langebartel 1g, Emily Courtney 1a.

The Junior Varsity Vikings scored one per half, and shutout Branson for the second win of the season. The JV is now 2-3-2, with Alex Shupert picking up two goals, both assisted by Sydnie Pilkinton. Pilkinton crossed the ball directly to Shupert inside the eighteen, and Shupert hammered it home for the eventual game winner.
