The girls soccer team won 2-0 at Aplington-Parkersburg, a game that aired on 99 The Wave. Lucy Varney broke a scoreless tie with a penalty kick at the 31:12 mark of the second half. It was followed seven minutes later by a long goal by Gentry Swarts. Head Coach Emma Eden says her team outlasted the Falcons in a physical battle.
“The girls have a lot of endurance so they can outrun outlast a lot of opponents, which came in handy tonight,” Eden says. “I think we’ve always been able to find the goal but now we’re starting to put it in so that’s great and we’re starting to crash more there too.”
Miranda Tyler recorded five saves. The 3-1 Wolverines will host North Fayette Valley Tuesday.
