On a cold, rainy night in Clinton, the Lady Arrows Soccer team put together a solid performance to defeat the Lady Chargers of Southaven High School on Tuesday night at Arrow Field.  The win pushes the Lady Arrows to 4-0-1 on the season.

The scoring started quickly as Sophomore Kayla Jones put one in the back of the net on an assist from Junior Kate Crisler in the 1st minute of the match to make the score 1-0.  The next two goals came from Senior Cooper Pletzke, the first one assisted by Senior Cooper Holmes and the second one assisted by Junior Isabella Jones.  

Junior Mandy Leach scored the 4th goal of the night on another assist from Jones.  Freshman Elise Thomas added the 5th goal of the night on an assist from Sophomore Carly Holmes.  Junior Faith Taylor scored the final goal of the evening on an assist from Sophomore Carly Jones.

Senior Goalkeeper Sarah Polk earned a clean sheet for the 3rd time in 5 games this season.

Head Coach Elliot Rimmer spoke of the importance of games like Tuesday's with the upcoming schedule.  "Great opportunity tonight to get minutes in a lot of different legs and look at some different rotations. Southaven was organized and compact and presented some issues for us in breaking down a low block, which will be essential going forward as we approach district play in a few weeks. Oxford will be a great test for us on Saturday, and is one of the first big teams in the north we will play over the next few weeks with Lewisburg coming to town after the break and district play beginning directly after that with Germantown."

The Lady Arrows return to action on Saturday as they travel to Oxford to take on another set of Chargers.
