Girls Soccer Saturday in Ligonier Whitko senior Alexis Fortman scored on a penalty kick from a West Noble handball in the box in the Lady Wildcats’ 4-1 loss to West Noble on Saturday. Sophomore goalie Stephanie Baughman posts 22 saves for Whitko. Whitko opens Three Rivers Conference play when they host Rochester on Wednesday.
Saturday in Topeka Westview scored the game’s only goal with 12 minutes left to beat visiting Wawasee Saturday. “We struggled with basic soccer skills (Saturday); trapping, ball control, and accurate passing which led to a lot of turnovers,” said Wawasee head coach Doug Heinisch via fax. “We are a little disappointed because we had a good chance to get this one.” Wawasee will host Manchester on Tuesday.
Saturday in Decatur After falling behind by a goal early, Warsaw responded with three goals from Mariah Rivera in a 4-1 win over Bellmont. “(Saturday’s) victory didn’t follow a traditional route,” said Lady Tiger head coach Peter Lucht via e-mail. “We started a little slow off the bus, but a wake-up call came in the ninth minute. One of Bellmont’s best players was able to score off a free kick on the edge of the penalty area. If they weren’t ready off the bus, that goal certainly drove across the point that Bellmont wasn’t going to simply give the game away.” Rivera scored the first of her goals 12 minutes later, and the second one in the following minute. Rivera and freshman Anna Grill both had second-half goals, completing the hat trick for Rivera and giving Grill her first career varsity goal. The Lady Tigers will take a 2-0 record into its Northern Lakes Conference opener when they host Plymouth Tuesday.
