However, the third straight shutout by the Ladycats resulted in them also not being able to get the ball into the net. Still, the Ladycats retained first place in District 5-5A with a 4-0-1 record (7-6-1 overall) as they played to a scoreless tie at home against Granbury (9-5-2, 2-1-2) on Feb. 13.
Haley Mourer posted the shutout as goalkeeper.
It was the third consecutive shutout by the Ladycats. This was preceded by a 6-0 victory at Saginaw (2-9, 0-5) on Feb. 10, again with Mourer in goal.
“I’ve been very impressed with how our defense has grown. Three shutouts in a row doesn’t happen by accident,” Ladycats coach Taylor May said. “They’ve been disciplined, patient, and composed under pressure. It’s a total team effort, and they’re buying into the standard we expect.
“We have moved some people around and found who works best for us in those positions.”
Ally Weimer had a hat trick (three goals) against Saginaw, while Kendall Holcomb had a pair of goals and Baylee Velarde also scored. Jordan Wright had two assists, with Weimer and Addison Clark also assisting.
