Soccer News
Girls Varsity Soccer: MP 2, Perry 1
The Girls Varsity Soccer team defeated Perry 2-1 last Friday night at Herb St. John Stadium. The Panthers scored first off a penalty kick that barely missed the outstretched arms of Bulldog goalie Lori Smith. Entering the second half down 1-0, MP freshman Meredith Ham entered the game and scored the equalizer off an assist from fellow freshman Chloe Dezoort. The game winning goal came after relentless pressure from the MP attack caused the Panther defense confusion as they kicked the ball in their own goal. Lori Smith recorded 9 saves on the evening and preserved the win for the Bulldogs.
MP Boys Soccer defeats Perry The MP boys soccer team improved to 6-1-1 on Friday thanks to a big region road victory at Perry.
