KUA JV Girls' Soccer Team Wins a Tight Matchup Against Proctor

The KUA JV girls soccer team held off an undefeated Proctor girls team using strong defense and several clearances from fullbacks West Lee-Ogilbee, Chloe Dixon, and Lachlyn Zackman throughout the game.  The first half was dominated by striker Aiyonna Gay and striking midfielder JC Bernard who used their speed to get behind Proctor's defense, unleashing a few shots before Aiyonna was fouled inside the box, setting up for a penalty kick.  Aiyonna made her own penalty shot with a strong strike to the left side of the goal and the KUA girls were able to band together to close down shooting lanes during the second half.  But the game wasn't quite over after a hand ball foul in the box allowed Proctor a chance to tie it up with a penalty kick of their own.  Goalie Taylor Swett, who was filling for an injured West Lee-Ogilbee at that position, was able to make the save, preserving KUA's lead and giving them a 2-1 record.  The girls will travel to New Hampton on Saturday in a bid for their third straight win.  Gooo KUA!
