Parkside 2, Lewis 2

HEAR FROM COACH NIKOLIC
"We had a great start to the game and we were playing good soccer that lead to our first goal," head coach Brittany Nikolic said. "Unfortunately, we didn't sustain the same quality throughout the game and overall gave the ball away too easily."

"I'm proud of the resilience we showed in getting the tying goal in the end," Nikolic added.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Senior Chloe Couves, from Ankeny, Iowa, scored her first goal of the season, putting the Rangers up 1-0 in the 20th minute. Couves' goal comes off a double-assist from junior Jazmin Castanon and junior Maycee Kroening.

Lewis tied the game in the 33rd minute after a deflection off the crossbar and Christine Szymanski put the ball away. The Flyers then took the lead in the 79th minute with an unassisted goal by Kailey Parnello. In the 88th minute, Kroening answered their goal with one of her own. Off a corner kick from Couves, Kroening headed the ball into the back of the net with only 90 seconds remaining in the game, nearly immediately before the game went into a rain delay. The game was officially called due to lightning in the area at 2:35 p.m.

STATWORTHY
Both teams tallied fouls in double digits, the Rangers with 11 as well as two yellow cards and the Flyers with 13 and one yellow. Parkside totaled nine shots with six on goal. Goal keeper Lara Ferrari made six saves on the Flyers eight shots on goal. Each team had four corner kicks for the match.
