PN-G girls claim shootout victory

  PORT NECHES -- Struggling to establish any sort of offense on either side, Port Neches-Groves owned the happier end of a 35-yard shootout, outscoring Lumberton 2-0 in the shootout Tuesday night.

  The victory improved coach Aimee Bates' Lady Indians to 5-1 and 2-0. The loss dropped coach Paula Droddy's Lady Raiders to 4-2 and 1-1.

  Senior forward Emily Pacetti and junior midfielder Brittany Ansel each converted a shootout goal for PN-G. Standout senior goalkeeper Brittney Fruge managed eight saves for the Lady Indians.

  The teams battled scoreless throughout the night on an Indian Stadium field battered last weekend by the 16-team girls soccer tournament. The sloppy conditions worsened after a junior varsity game when rain pelted the field throughout the varsity contest.

  "The field probably was the biggest obstacle for both sides," the Lady Indians coach said. "I don't think either coach was pleased. It was just sloppy. Players were kicking it mainly to get it out of the mud.

  "I thought Lumberton took us out of our game and dominated the shots in the first half. Then I thought we came back and dominated in the second half."
