Last Friday South Lakes girls JV soccer lost to McLean by three goals. Anyone who has been following our JV soccer team knows that we haven’t had much of a season. Having only won one game against Stuart, (which wasn’t even a district game) it appears that the girls JV soccer is out of luck.
At the game last Friday, the girls were without subs due to issues with attendance at practices. For most of the first half the girls were able to play competitively against McLean, considering their disadvantage. It wasn’t until the end of the first half when McLean was able to make their first goal.
At the beginning of the second half, McLean was able to get two quick goals, both of which should have been called off-sides. The defense having played the entire game was fatigued towards the end of the second half causing McLean to easily overpower them with their constant substitutions. McLean’s inaccurate shooting prevented them from making any more goals during the second half.
Considering that many of the other girls JV soccer team’s defeats have had more points on the scoreboard, this was a good game for our JV team.
