The Lady Vikings soccer team traveled to LaConner for a hard fought 6-2 loss against the Braves on Sept. 25.

Coach Chama Anderson said the Braves capitalized on “a few critical mistakes in the beginning that cost us a few goals and put us on our heals,” but she was pleased with Lilly Miller’s perseverance, scoring the Vikings’ first goal before halftime against a solid Brave defense. Start of the second half with the Vikings down 3-1, Anderson said, “Lana Bronn placed a beautiful ball just under the cross bar 20 yards out for our second goal” that changed the momentum of the game as the Vikings began to “dominate play for most of the second half.” However, a few strong Brave drives and follow through eventually broke through the Viking defense.

“We are learning from our mistakes and getting better and better, one play at a time,” Anderson said.
