The Lady Zizzers traveled to Parkview to take on the Vikings in Ozark Conference soccer matches on Tuesday. Parkview took an early lead, getting a goal three and a half minutes into the game. The Lady Zizzers didn’t have their best effort in the first half. Too much standing and not enough communication proved to be a bad combination. Parkview went ahead 2-0 in the 17th minute as the West Plains defense got caught diving in at the ball.
The effort in the second half was a little better, even though it wasn’t reflected on the scoreboard. Parkview scored two goals in the first ten minutes of the half including one that took a big bounce over the head of Lady Zizzer Keeper Saralyn Glascock. West Plains moved the ball some at times, but wasn’t able to create a lot of offensive pressure. Parkview added two goals in the last five minutes, one of which was an own goal off the foot of a West Plains defender. The final score was 6-0.
In the JV game, West Plains fell 6-1 to Parkview. The Vikings scored in the 4th, 19th, and 23rd minutes before the Lady Zizzers struck back. In the 25th minute, Ashley Smith dribbled into the right side of the box and sent a shot back to her left and in the goal to cut the lead to 3-1. That’s as close as West Plains would get though. Parkview increased their lead to 4-1 with goal in the 29th minute. In the second half, Parkview would score two more, one coming in the 23rd minute and the other in the 32nd minute of the half.
Next up for West Plains will be the last regular season games of the year on Thursday. The opponent will be the Joplin Eagles. The Varsity game will kickoff at 4:00pm in West Plains with the JV to follow. The Lady Zizzers will begin District play on Saturday at 1:00pm in Camdenton against Lebanon.
