Vikings Beat West Plains, Go Undefeated in the Ozark Conference

The Parkview Lady Vikings beat West Plains 3-0 on Tuesday night, making them an undefeated 9-0 in the Ozark Conference, and 15-3 overall. This is the first time that Parkview had ever won the Ozark Conference on the girls’ side.

The Scoring was started by Melanie Allen, and the Vikings also got goals from Jessica Maerz and Amanda Leckrone. West Plains defended well and made Parkview work, but the Vikings did not give up many scoring chances on their way to victory. Parkview was able to send the ball to the wings consistently against the Zizzers, with the majority of the attack coming from crosses, including Loderhose’s cross to Leckrone for the third goal of the night.

Coach Nick Schmitt of West Plains wrote up a nice article about the game on their website as well.

The PHS JV had a 2-1 come from behind victory. Marie Maize scored 2 goals, and Mary Langebartel had 1 assist. After the Vikings gave up an early goal, Maize was able to get one back when she surprised the keeper with an early shot through traffic. The score was 1-1 at half, until Maize stole the ball from a Zizzer defender and took it to goal for the Vikings’ second goal, and a 2-1 victory.
