The Lady Cards had a strong opening to their week of competition last week. They came out on fire with an onslaught of goals in a win to begin the week. However, their fortunes changed in their second game of the week when they played a tight game at home over the weekend and eventually finished regulation with a tie on the scoreboard. After a tight penalty shootout, the Lady Cards suffered the defeat as they could not slot home the shot to keep the shootout going.

Vs Palacios, L, 0-0 (4-3 PKs) The Lady Cards’ weekend game came with much less success on the offensive end than they had achieved earlier in the week.

After regulation ended with a scoreless tie, the game went into a penalty shootout as the two teams traded goals. Eventually the Lady Cards could not respond, and they fell in the shootout by a 4-3 margin.
