Quakers Outscore Lady Vikings in Soccer, 3-1

The Lady Vikings varsity soccer team put up a strong fight against Moses Brown on Monday, but in the end, they were no match. Rogers High (3-7-1) fell to the Quakers (8-2) 3-1. The loss puts them at a three-game losing streak, coming off two previous games against Narragansett and Cranston East. In both games they were scoreless.

The Vikings spent most of the first half on Monday on defense, as the Quakers pounded shot after shot. Rogers goalie, senior Precious Daquil, had eight saves and let two goals through. Both were hard shots to the opposite corner. She did have several diving catches to keep them down by only two by the half.

Moses Brown senior Lauren Davis scored both goals.

Junior goalkeeper for Moses Brown, Jacqueline Berard, had three shots on goal and made three saves.

During the first minutes of the second half, the Vikings seemed to regain their footing. Sienna Benson and Rhys Huntley put pressure on the Moses Brown defense and fired some shot into the goal to no avail.

Ten minutes into the second half, Quakers captain Grace Bender scored the third and final goal for the Quakers.

Determined not to be shut out, Rogers responded with a goal halfway through the second half. Johanna Lynch sailed a shot that tipped off of Daquil's fingers for a goal. Lynch would be the last to score in the game.

Despite being outrun, the Vikings gave it their best effort and spectators continuously made comments on their improvements from last year.

Their next game will be against Hope High School on Wednesday.
