Lexington- Lexington outlasted Holdrege in girls soccer on Tuesday 3-0. Lexington led 1-0 at half and scored two more goals in the second half. The Minutemaids outshot the Dusters 25-1. Lexington picked up goals from Citlali Prado, assist Berniece Garcia, Valeria Perez (off corner kick-own goal), and Berniece Garcia. Coach Keith Allen thought the Minutemaids played well. “Holdrege didn’t have much of an attack, and left huge gaps that the Lex girls could take advantage of, we were given a lot of space, and had plenty of time to make decisions throughout the field.” Allen also stated that the wind was not friendly to Holdrege as the Dusters had issues getting ball out of their half. Lexington will host North Platte on Thursday while Holdrege will take on Kearney Catholic as part of the Seward tournament on Saturday.
In the boys game, Lexington picked up a 3-0 win to improve to 4-2 on the season. It was the third shutout of the spring for the Minutemen. Ernie Vargas scored the first goal of the game off an assist from Pucca Casillas. Freddy Vargas added the second and third goals of the match for the Minutemen. Tuesday’s match was just the second of the year for the Dusters who are now 0-2. Lexington will host North Platte on Thursday, while Holdrege travels to Seward.
