The Marshall girls soccer team traveled to Vicksburg on Monday evening.  The game didn't start well with Marshall giving up a relatively soft goal less than a minute into the contest to go into an early 0-1 hole.  Marshall responded by waking up and getting into a good game with a good opponent.  Late in the half, Vicksburg scored an excellent goal as a winger cut into the middle on the dribble and curled a terrific shot from outside the box into the far side netting.  The goal gave Vicksburg a 2-0 lead, but Marshall did not hang their heads.  They dug in and got a goal back before halftime.  Lola Saber won a ball from a Vicksburg defender out wide and sent a long cross into the box.  The cross floated over the defenders head and landed nicely for Lillian Moore to control and slot past the advancing keeper to make the score 2-1 heading into halftime.

 

In the 2nd half, Marshall came out flying.  Unfortunately they missed a great chance to level the score less than a minute into the half.  Before 5 minutes had been played, however, they did level the scoreline at 2-2.  Sarah Couch played a ball to the feet of Lillian Moore at midfield.  Moore turned, pushed the ball past the centerback and outpaced the entire Vicksburg defense before, again, calmly slotting home to tie the score.  Despite playing relatively well after evening the score, Marshall did unfortunately proceed to concede 3 corner kick goals in the 2nd half.  The final score was 5-2 Vicksburg.

 

The loss made Marshall's record 4-4-0 on the year.
