Lakeland Girls JV Soccer Team Continues to Win

The following was submitted by Lakeland JV Soccer Coach Robert Kroezen.

Tuesday night Lakeland JV beat Walled Lake Central 2-0, upping the team record to 8-0.

The team played to a tied 0-0 game in first half. Lakeland was playing against a  strong wind in the first half and just wanted to keep the score at 0-0. Keeper Jessica Filipiak had two enormous saves to ensure the team went into halftime tied.

In the second half, and with the wind going in the same direction down the field as Lakeland was, the team pressed hard. Keeper Filipiak had a great drop kick to the center line that bounced over Central's defense, and striker Nina Foote charged the goalie and scored. With the score 1-0 the Lakeland defense and midfield kept the ball in Central's defensive half most of the second half.

Later in the half, Central had a goal kick. Off that kick Lakeland's Foote chest trapped the ball and shot it over the keeper for her second goal of the night cementing the win.

This was Filipiak's fifth shutout.

Lakeland's next game is at home on Thursday against Farmington.
