The Lady Tiger JV team played three big games this weekend. The fun began on Friday night when they played the Lady Blue Jays varsity squad from Greenwood (currently ranked #4 in the State in Class 1). Junior Maddie Esther scored three goals for the Lady Jays, including one goal scored directly from a corner kick that was “bent like Beckham” into the far side netting, and Greenwood went on to defeat the Ozark JV team by a final score of 3-1. Sophomore Danielle Poivre (pictured above) netted one for the Lady Tigers, and Ozark’s junior varsity looked strong against the ranked opponent. The Lady Tigers had several scoring opportunities in the second half, but only managed to capitalize on one of them.
The Ozark JV squad next faced the Lady Viking JV squad from Parkview in the first round of the Ozark Junior Varsity Tournament on Saturday. Ozark defeated Parkview 3-0 with goals from freshman Hadleigh Jordan, freshman Meghan Stacy, and sophomore Danielle Poivre to set up a rematch of Tuesday night’s battle with the Lady Eagles from Nixa in the championship match. Nixa had come from behind to defeat Ozark on Tuesday night by a score of 3-2, but the Lady Tigers would get their revenge on Saturday afternoon, walking away from the game with a 2-0 victory and the title of tournament champions on goals from freshman Meghan Stacy and sophomore Mollie Killion. Congrats ladies on a job well done!!!
