Soccer teams drop two at Houston County
MOULTRIE — The Colquitt County girls soccer team saw its two-game winning streak come to an end in sudden death on Friday at Houston County.
The Lady Packers and Lady Bears played regulation and overtime and could not break a 2-2 tie.
After five penalty kicks, the teams were still even, but Houston got the win on a sudden death penalty kick.
The Colquitt County boys dropped the second match, falling 2-0 to the Bears.
The Lady Packers led 2-0 at the half, but were unable to hold the lead.
Suzi Hernandez gave the Lady Packers a 1-0 lead on a first-half free kick. A Lacey Webb goal put Colquitt up 2-0.
But Lady Packers coach Jimbo Jarvis said his team was “slack” early in the second half and Houston County took advantage, scoring twice in a five-minute span to tie the match.
That’s where the game stood until sudden death.
“That’s a tough way to lose,” Jarvis said. “I hope that will make us stronger.
“We know we can play better. We didn’t play at all like we’ve been playing.”
The Lady Packers opened with a 10-0 victory at Coffee and followed it up with a satisfying 3-1 win over Thomas County Central.
“We played tough tonight,” Jarvis said. “We just got away from our game a little bit.
“We’ve just got to bounce back against Lowndes.”
Colquitt will travel to Lowndes on Tuesday.
The Vikettes are 4-0 overall and 3-0 in Region 1-AAAAA after defeating Tift County on penalty kicks on Friday.
