The Lady Raider Soccer Team won their seventh straight game over the Lady Patriots in Flowood on Thursday night in thrilling fashion. The two teams played to a scoreless draw before a lengthy lightning delay which lasted around an hour. JA got on the board first as Alayla Jackson found the back of the net in the 24th minute and the Lady Raiders carried that lead into the halftime break. The lead was short-lived as Prep came out and scored the equalizing goal three minutes into second half action. Regulation and both overtime periods saw no goals so the two teams went into Penalty Kicks.
JA had successful winning kicks from Alayla Jackson, Addison Comer, Gabby Healy and Londyn Dorsey. The big story was freshman Goal Keeper Addi Roberts who stopped 2 of the 5 shots she faced in the Penalty Kick Shootout, including the last one to preserve the victory. The Lady Raiders will travel to Greenwood next Monday to take on Pillow Academy, and Hattiesburg on Thursday to take on PCS, during the final week of the regular season.
