Gentry Falls to Rogers and Prairie Grove
On Monday night, March 14, the Lady Pioneer varsity soccer team played against the Rogers Mounties. Gentry had to play without six of their starting players out due to various injuries, but this gave the JV players an opportunity to get some more playing experience.
Senior Ana Linch had the only goal for Gentry on a penalty kick in the second half, but the final score was 1-6 loss for Gentry.
The Lady Pioneer JV team traveled to Prairie Grove on Tuesday night and also suffered a loss. Although Gentry was ahead 2-1 at half time, the Tigers made a mighty comeback to win the game with a final score of 2-3.
Gentry newcomers freshman Lily Nevarrete and junior Karina Appelrath scored their first goals of the season during this game. While Appelgrath scored off of a corner kick, Nevarrete scored off of a penalty kick.
Despite the end result, Nevarrete stated that, “I think we did really well and I’m excited for the rest of the season!”
