Lady Cardinals post two big wins

The Lady Cardinal soccer team won their first match of the season against Wayne County. They also competed in the Lexington jamboree last weekend, finishing one match in a tie and winning another.

Head coach Rebecca Ashe is pleased with her team’s performance early in the season. “We started the season off well with a win over Wayne County. The Lexington jamboree gave us practice for the tough district games coming up. Heat is making it hard, and we are hoping for cooler weather soon,” she said. One of their jamboree games had to be cut short due to the rising heat index.

Darby Culver posted another first half goal before Elisabeth Churchwell finished off the team’s scoring in the second half. The team had 34 shots on goal in the match.
