A day after blanking Kenowa Hills 7-0 in their opener the Lions were stymied by the visiting Spartans by the same 7-0 score. Coach Painter: “"We faced a tough, experienced Sparta squad last night who came out fast and strong right off the initial whistle. Our girls were a bit shell-shocked as Sparta put up 4 goals on us within the first 15 minutes. However, one of our team values is that 'we give our best no matter the circumstances.' “We made a couple minor adjustments and then our girls just kept fighting. We started to get used to the speed, began stringing together passes, and put a few shots at the keeper even putting one off the post that somehow tiptoed along the line but didn't go in! I was proud of our girls' grit, how they slowly improved throughout the game, and how they never, ever gave up!" The team has a couple of weeks off before returning with a trio of road matches as they visit Chip Hills (4-13), Shelby (4-14) and Lakeview (4-18) before hosting Reed City (4-20).
