RIVER RIDGE 3, WOODLAND LADY CATS 2

The Woodland Lady Cats lost a region match at home Tuesday to River Ridge, 3-2.

Although both teams had scoring opportunities in the first half, neither took advantage until the 34th minute when the visiting Lady Knights picked up the game’s first goal and took a 1-0 lead to the intermission.

Woodland missed a penalty kick early in the second half and then River Ridge took advantage of a mishandled ball in front of the Lady Cats’ net. The mistake led to a Knights’ goal in the 52nd minute and allowed River Ridge to take a 2-0 lead.

The Lady Knights extended their lead to 3-0 just 30 second later, but Woodland responded well the rest of the way only to come up a goal short.

Keri Cagle scored in the 71st minute on a breakaway and Ally Moates found the net in the 79th minute to narrow the margin to 3-2, but that is as close as the Lady Cats would come.

River Ridge (5-4 overall, 2-1 in 7-AAAAA-A) was able to withstand the rally down the stretch and ran out the clock for a one goal victory.

With the loss, the Lady Cats fall to 3-5 overall and 1-2 in sub-region 7-AAAAA-A.

Woodland hosts Sequoyah Friday (March 18) in a 5:30pm kickoff.
