The Parkview Lady Vikings have defeated the Glendale Falcons twice in a four day span, this time with a 3-2 overtime victory. After beating the Falcons on Saturday in the Kickapoo Tournament 2-1, the Vikings came back from a 0-2 deficit to score two goals in the last 18 minutes and another in overtime for the win. Parkview is now 4-0 in the Ozark Conference, and 10-2 overall.

A starting back line of Mckenzi Payton, Aubrey Durst, Amy Greene, and Jessica Maerz held things together for the majority of the match for the Vikings, giving up one goal early, and a second in the second half due to a miscommunication, but along with senior keeper Caylin Manary in front of the net Parkview held strong overall and completely dominated the last twenty minutes of the match.

The attack was anchored by Shelby Stewart and Kelsey Loderhose. Having Loderhose back after missing the last match against Glendale was a nice change of pace, as her presence serves as another scoring threat when teams choose to double and triple team Stewart. The first Viking goal was scored when after a set piece cross, the ball got lost in a scrum and Molly Robb hammered in it to bring the Vikings within one. The second goal came when Stewart dribbled through two defenders and had her shot deflected, Loderhose, whose shot was deflected to Melanie Allen, who drilled it into the back of the net to tie the match at 2-2 (see video below).

As soon as the overtime began, the Vikings took control again. Kelsey Loderhose won the ball in the midfield and dribbled it to about 30 out, where she shot from, and beat the keeper over the top for the walk-off victory (see video below).
