Garden City Sinks Liberal in Second Half at Cornelsen

In Western Athletic Conference soccer, you are well served to take advantage of the wind. Liberal’s biggest mistake was probably the fact that they didn’t do that in a 2-1 loss to Garden City at Redskin Field Tuesday evening. With a strong south wind at their backs on a warm evening, LHS didn’t score in the first half as the two girls soccer teams spent halftime trying to figure out a way to generate some offense.

The Buffaloes used the wind in the second half. GCHS scored on a penalty kick at the 37:28 mark of the second half and scored again at the 28:29 when Haley Brenneman found the back of the north net. Liberal’s Crystal Vela scored on a PK at the 20:56 mark to make it 2-1.

Liberal has lost three straight and sits 5-9 overall and 2-5 in the WAC while Garden is 9-6-1 overall and 5-2-1 in the WAC.

LHS hosts Dodge City for Senior Night Thursday at 5:30 at Redskin Field.
