Spartans soccer looks to dim Comets' hopes

The Luxemburg-Casco girls' soccer team will try to snap a three-game skid when they travel to Waupaca Tuesday night for an NEC affair against the Comets.

 

The Luxemburg-Casco soccer team was kept scoreless in Oostburg on Saturday as they lost 4-0 to their hosts and 1-0 to their rivals. Goalkeeper Tabi Lemens took the loss in both pairs but not without being challenged throughout. She stopped 15 of 19 shots from the Flying Dutchmen of Oostburg and followed it up with 17 of 18 shots against Denmark. The loss marked their second and third straight time being shut out and Lemens made 10 or more saves in a single contest. The skid follows a three-match point streak where they 2-0-1.

 

The Comets are 6-8-2 on the year and tied in the NEC standings with the Spartans at five points. They went 0-1-1 in their own tournament over the weekend, earning a draw against Northland Pine and losing to Winneconne 3-0. They had lost five of their previous six before that with a 9-1 victory over Clintonville their lone victory.

 

Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m.
