SHS GIRLS DROP PK DECISION TO NLR

The Southside Lady Mavericks dropped a tough decision to North Little Rock Friday on PKs.

North Little Rock’s Paige Cordell slipped one past Melanie Rice for what proved to be the game-winner in a 2-1 victory.

Rice, who was flawless during regulation, also scored Southside’s lone PK goal.

The Charging Wildcats (10-7, 3-7) took a 1-0 lead on Rylee Ellis’ PK goal.

Senior Hannah Schmidt had her attempt blocked. Rice, meanwhile, made a nice save of Sophie Nash’s PK attempt, then tied the match with her goal.

North Little Rock’s Anna Paige Johnston hit the post, Southside’s Morrea Kleck misfired on her attempt, and the Charging Wildcats’ Clara Sullivan missed.

Southside freshman Abby Holycross failed on her attempt, giving Cordell a chance to spoil the Mavericks’ night.

The Mavs (2-10-1, 2-8) travel to Bryant on Tuesday.
