Eleven saves by senior keeper Holli Smithson and a breakaway goal by Eliza Masters were the highlights on Tuesday night as the Coffee County Lady Raider soccer team dropped a scrimmage contest at Oakland.
Oakland grabbed an early 2 to 0 lead with goals in the 3rd and 28th minutes. Masters got behind the Oakland defense with an excellent through pass from Maggie Lashlee in the 34th minute to make the score 2 to 1 at the half. Three second half goals by the Lady Patriots against a tired Lady Raider defense gave Oakland the 5 to 1 scrimmage win.
The JV Lady Raiders fell 6 to 0 to Oakland. The soccer team will travel to Ooltewah on Thursday for a scrimmage with the Lady Owls. That scrimmage game is set to begin at 6 PM CDT. The Lady Raiders and JV Lady Raiders will host a scrimmage play day on Saturday. Both teams have 4 games scheduled as 9 teams will be attendance. Games are scheduled from 9 AM until 4:30 PM and will be played on the Raider Soccer Field and Carden-Jarrell Field.
