Kristen Grant booted one
goal and Angelique Armenta added another to send the
Lyon College Lady Pipers to their second consecutive
victory, a 2-1 decision over the Northwest Oklahoma
State Lady Rangers, Sunday at Lyon College Soccer Field.
The game was a physical
war of attrition, containing a total of 32 fouls -- 17
for the Pipers and 15 for the Lady Rangers.
Grant opened up the
scoring with her goal in the 6th minute of the contest,
putting back a rebound into the left side of the net.
Armenta followed with her
second goal of the season in the 14th minute on an
assist from Sarah Ruegger. The score gave the Pipers a
commanding 2-0 lead, an advantage which they took into
the half.
Northwest Oklahoma State
bounced back to score when a shot from Sarah Bryant
bounced off a Lyon College player for an own goal in the
54th minute.
The Lady Rangers,
however, wouldn't score again as the Pipers' defense
fought off the charge.
Lyon improves to 2-0-0 on the season and plays
again on Sept. 9, at LeTourneau University in Longview, Tex.
