Eight years of regular season frustration came to an end for the Lyon County Lady Lyons Tuesday night. Lyon County used a strong second half to pull away from the Trigg County Lady Wildcats for a 5-1 5th District win at Lee S. Jones Park.
Lyon County held a 2-0 lead at the break, and then added three more goals in the second half to put the match away. Leah Schroeder led a balanced attack for Lyon County with two goals. Mia Myers, Sydney Hoffman, and Rose Smith added a goal each for the Lady Lyons.
Trigg County’s lone goal came in the second half, scored by Kara Southwood off a corner kick from Ashlee Wyatt.
The win ended a streak of thirteen straight wins by Trigg County over Lyon County during regular season play.
Lyon County improves to 2-2 overall, and 2-0 in district play. Trigg County falls to 2-5 overall, and 1-1 in district competition. Lyon County currently has the inside track on the top seed for the district tournament, which would include an automatic berth in the regional tournament.
