The Brownwood Lady Lions remained undefeated in District 4-4A soccer action – and perfect at Gordon Wood Stadium – with a 1-0 triumph over the Mineral Wells Lady Rams Friday night.
Despite owning the momentum throughout much of the contest, the Lady Lions (8-2, 2-0) were unable to light up the scoreboard until 15:06 remained in the contest when Molly Oliver scored the game’s only goal off an assist from Tessa Goodwin, who recently joined the team following the conclusion of basketball season.
“When Tessa came out she told me she was a defensive player, but yesterday at practice I put on her offense just to see what she could do and what she was capable of because I’d never seen her play soccer,” said Lady Lions head coach Alexis Mosqueda. “In practice I saw that she can get these cross balls up in the air, which is exactly what we’ve been lacking this season, and she did that as soon as I put her in. She got the ball right where it needed to be, right at Molly’s feet, and Molly was able to knock it in.”
