(By Coach Chris Schonbachler)

The Clarion Area Lady Cats earned a hard fought, come from behind victory, Tuesday evening, against the visiting West Forest Lady Fires.

Early in the second half, the Lady Fires started the scoring with a well placed shot off of a free kick.

The Lady Cats kept working and finally seized an opportunity when Courtney Schonbachler tied the game, with 6 minutes remaining. Alexa Hannold assisted on the first goal.

As the match moved into overtime Clarion kept pressure on the West Forest defense.

Halfway through the first overtime, Kelly Beveridge played a lofted pass over the defense, which Forest Mills ran onto and finished with the game winning tally. The Lady Cat defense had yet another strong showing, keeping the team in the game throughout most of the contest.

Tuesday’s win moves the team’s record to 2-2, they will travel to Keystone Thursday evening.
