Losing Weekend

This weekend the Warrior soccer teams headed down to Oklahoma to take on back to back games Friday and Saturday afternoon.

Friday morning the bus headed out of Sterling south to Muskogee, Oklahoma where the first game against Bacone College would take place. After the long bus ride the Lady Warriors hopped off the bus looking for another win to tack onto their record. But the work of Bacone College ended up being just too much for SC. The Warriors started off slow and unorganized giving up three goals in the first half making half time quiet an event. Despite being down the Warriors came back with a vengeance as senior Kylie Yates put 2 goals in the back of the net to put the Lady Warriors on the board and back in the game. Although the Lady Warriors fought hard to come back, another goal (intended as a cross) by Bacone sealed the end of the game giving the Lady Warriors a 2-4 loss.

Saturday afternoon the SC bus headed to Bartlesville to the Oklahoma Wesleyan campus. The Lady Warriors hoped to look past their loss and to overcome Oklahoma Wesleyan. But yet again SC put themselves in a hole, ending half time down by 3. Yet again as the second half started the Lady Warriors had surge where senior Kylie Yates again put 2 points on the board giving the Warriors a ray of light as the 2nd half started winding down. Despite the late effort of the SC Warriors time wasn’t on their side as the game ended giving the Lady Warriors their second loss of the weekend 2-3.

The Warriors are now 4-3 overall and head back down to Oklahoma to face Northwestern Oklahoma on Tuesday evening.
