After a long tournament last week, the Lady Lancer soccer team played a home game against Big Bear High School on Tuesday, December 6. Last year, Big Bear defeated WCHS 0-6. This year, was a different story. Within the first ten minutes, Alexa Collas gave up a penalty kick in our 18 yard box, which Lyndsey Carruthers fearlessly blocked. Unfortunately, the defense didn’t get back after Lyndsey’s block and Big Bear took the shot, giving them a 1-0 lead over the Lancers. As soon as the whistle blew, the Lancers played their hardest, giving Hannah Rhinehart a breakaway and her team a goal. At half-time, the game was 1-1.
As soon as the second half started, it was as if another Lancer team stepped on the field. As Big Bear earned a second goal, the Lancers gave up playing as a team and started playing as desperate individual players. When all was said and done, the Lancers lost 1-5 against Big Bear.
