Girls’ soccer
Alexandria’s JV1 girls’ soccer team ended their game with St. Cloud Tech in a 0-0 tie.
It was a rollercoaster of a match with Alex seizing the early advantage when Ashley Vandeveur banged a 35-yard direct kick off the crossbar. They followed that shot with 10 minutes of heavy pressure.
Tech came back and dominated the final 20 minutes of the half.
Both teams had chances, with Cardinal Mikayla Lucas coming closest to scoring when she was set free by a pass from Candy McCullough. Lucas walked the ball in and went up high with her shot, but the Tech keeper got just enough of the ball to deflect it over the goal.
