Halifax Academy soccer team loses a tough one on the road Tuesday.

"Being down 4-1 at halftime with the normal defense making a few missed plays which resulted in goals, we decided to mix it up and go for broke in the second half. We allowed the newer girls to try and shut down their offense while just trying to outscore them by overloading the offensive line," said Halifax coach Tim George.  The strategy worked with the score being tied 6-6 at the end of regulation.

"The defense really stepped up and played well, while the offense looked great scoring in flurries. We just couldn't keep up in overtime. These girls played with heart and emotion and  never gave up till the end. I can't ask for anything more  than the effort I saw last night," added George.

Whitney George led the offense with a hat trick and two assists, while both Abby George and Maddie Suiter netted two goals to go along with two assists apiece. Kate Starnes scored her first goal of the season while providing the spark to lead the comeback in the second half.

The Lady Vikings are off for two weeks for spring break and return on Tuesday April 10th for what should be an exciting home re-match against Community Christian.
