Late goal lifts Parker soccer team

By GAZETTE STAFF Wednesday, April 15, 2009

Nicole Strieker weaved around three defenders and put in the winning goal as visiting Janesville Parker edged Lodi, 2-1, in a nonconference girls soccer match Tuesday afternoon.

The Vikings (3-1) also got a goal from sophomore Brianna Michios, off an assist by Strieker, to break away from a 0-0 tie at halftime.

Parker coach Amy Warkowsky said the Vikings’ ability to get to the ball, win the 50-50 balls and make the right passes were the keys to the victory.

With the score tied, 1-1, Strieker got a throw-in and dribbled through the middle of the field and put the ball into the bottom corner of the net at the 77:28 mark.

Sophomore Savannah Shepler and senior Sam Anacker each played a half in goal. Shepler had one save, and Anacker had four.

The Vikings begin Big Eight Conference play at Beloit at 7 p.m. Thursday.
