girls soccer team in win
The Clear Lake girls got on the scoreboard first and played
solid defense to earn their first win of the season Tuesday, April 12,
at Humboldt, 3-1.
After a scoreless first half, Milo Dugan put the Lions on the
board with a goal at the 30-minute mark of the second half. Dugan
netted the ball off an Erin O’Tool pass.
Humboldt knotted the score shortly after Dugan’s feat, but the
defensive backfield of Bailey Maulsby, Jessica Faber, Lexie Holtz
and Taylor Hill, along with goal keeper Ellie Biebesheimer, shut the
Wildcats down the remainder of the match.
Biebsheimer ended the game with four saves.
Dugan made seven attempts in the match, while Mandy Wen-
dell had two. O’Tool made six attempts and finished with one
assist.
O’Tool scored two more goals for the Lions to make the final
score 3-1.
“I’m proud of how the team continued to battle and take the
game to them,” said Coach Steve Faber.
