After tying with the Blue Dragons in Liberal back in late August, the Lady Saints soccer team traveled out to Hutchinson to face their top twenty opponent for the second time but were unable to repeat the result as they fell 3-1 against the Blue Dragons.
It did not take long for points to get on the scoreboard, but it was Hutchinson who scored as they launched in goal number one exactly one minute into the contest. Seward County tried to mount a counterstrike with Natasha Vasquez and Natoya Atkinson each trying to connect in the goal to put SCCC on the board but were unable to accomplish their goals with the Blue Dragons holding on to their 1-0 lead. Miu Kamei fought hard against Hutchinson’s offensive strike with a multitude of saves to keep the deficit at one to try and help keep the Lady Saints in contention to make one final push to score before the halftime break. A goal was added to the scoreboard before the break but was in favor of the Blue Dragons who grabbed goal number two with under 10:00 minutes left in the first half to put Seward County in a 2-0 hole entering halftime…
