Frisco High School Girls soccer played cross town rivals, Wakeland High School, last night.  Another night of freezing temperatures, and even snow pellets, and freezing sleet for the JV game. 

The Frisco JV game proved to be a tough battle.  The Frisco JV team came out fired up for Tuesday night's game. These girls brought their "no quit" attitude against a powerhouse opponent.   These two teams played a spirited, physical game.  Frisco's defense shut the door on many potential threats. Frisco's tough defense and keeper kept the Lady Wolverines scoreless until late in the first half.  Wakeland took a 1-0 lead to the half.  The Lady Wolverines added another goal early in the second half to take a 2-0 lead.  Despite the great effort and strong attacks by the Lady Raccoons' offense, they could not get one into the net.   Great defense had the rest of the half being scoreless, resulting in a hard fought 2-0 loss for the Lady Raccoons. All in all, a great game by this young Lady Raccoons team!!  Way to play tough, girls!!

Frisco Lady Raccoons Varsity played awesome, let there be no doubt about that.  Through 78 minutes of soccer Frisco dominated the game, they controlled the game for extended periods of time.  The game was scoreless at the half.  Frisco put the first score on the board when Maddie took a pass from Kaitlyn, out maneuvered a defender to kick it just past the goalie, with just under 18 minutes left to play in the game.  The rest of the game had it looking like Frisco was well on its way to winning this game in regulation.  But it was not meant to be.  Wakeland got the ball down on their end of the field, and as Frisco keeper, Victoria, came out to grab the ball, she and the defender got tangled up and the ball just rolled past her into the goal, with 1:45 left in the game.  Frisco put forth a great effort in getting the ball back down the field, and as the buzzer sounder, Blair took a shot on goal, but it sailed wide. End of Regulation had the scored tied at one.  It was going to a shoot out.  Frisco and Wakeland each put two PK's in.  Victoria guessed right on the third shot of the shootout, and made a great save.  However, on the next Frisco PK kick, Wakeland's goalie also made a save to keep it tied.  The next two PK's went in for both teams, then Wakeland sent out it's sixth player, who kicked the ball into the net. The same would not happen for Frisco, as their kick sailed just over the crossbar, giving Wakeland the win, on PK shoot out 5 -4.  Although the score indicates that Frisco came up just short,  what should not be forgotten is how Frisco out played Wakeland, the defending District Champs, on its home turf.   The post game scene was somber for Frisco, and I am sure no words can take out the sting of this heartbreaking loss.  These girls should hold their heads high, they are strong, they are tough and they are good!!  Great job Lady Raccoons!
