Early start helps Viqueens win

Community opened up a three-goal advantage in the first half and held on for a 3-1 victory over host Cornersville in a District 11-A/AA match on Thursday.

Viqueen freshman Allyse Reese scored the first goal of the game with a ricochet off the far goal post four minutes in after dribbling an opposing defender. About 10 minutes later, Reese scored again off of a assist from fellow forward Kristen Simmons. Simmons then made it 3-0 by halftime with a goal of her own.

The Lady Bulldogs withstood an onslaught of shots in the second half to hold Community scoreless. Cornersville's Paige Holder found the back of the net halfway through the second half but it was too little, too late.
