H-F Girls Soccer Squad Kicks It Up Another Notch

Homewood-Flossmoor’s girls soccer team has been on a roll all season. After their 4-1 victory over Lincoln-Way East, the Vikings improved to 12-0 overall and 3-0 in the SouthWest Suburban Blue Conference. 

Goals by Kelly Lewers, Emma Kay, Haley Hruska and Hope Hruska supplied the offense.

With Lewers leading the offensive charge, the Vikings have outscored their first 12 opponents by a 54-2 margin and have recorded 10 shutouts.

The Vikings will see their competition increase mightily the rest of the regular season as they travel to Burlington, Iowa, this weekend, host Bolingbrook on Tuesday and visit Sandburg on Thursday (6 p.m.). Sandburg’s Eagles suffered their first loss of the season this past Thursday.
