Prep Roundup: Indian soccer teams score 2 shutouts over Dogs
Published 1:04 am Saturday, February 4, 2017
Almost 27 minutes into Friday’s girls soccer match in Port Neches, Hailey Loupe scored the first goal, and the celebration with her Port Neches-Groves teammates was on.
A few miles southwest in Nederland, PNG’s boys team was having twice as much fun.
The PNG girls team protected their home field in their own Mid-County Madness showdown, taking a 2-0 win over the previously unbeaten Bulldogs (7-1-2, 1-1-1 in District 22-5A). The Indian boys remained unbeaten in district play with a 4-0 win.
“We had done some things,” PNG boys coach Chad Luttrull said. “We had some kids really step up. We have young kids step up. We have several seniors on our team. They work hard in practice, and it carries over in games.”
Luttrull’s Indians improved to 10-1-2 and 3-0 in 22-5A. Nederland is 1-2 in the district.
The PNG girls team (9-1-1, 2-1) made their score 2-0 in the second half when Elizabeth Bolyard netted a goal off a Grace Seymour free kick. Loupe took the handle from a Sophie Brant kick for her goal.
“The defense did an outstanding job on containing [Madison] Ledet and [Meg] Sheppard and the rest of the Nederland offense,” Bates said. “Libbie [LeJeune of PNG] was solid in goal.”
Loupe and Ledet signed with Lamar on Wednesday.
Nederland goalie Emma Roccaforte, who is headed to McNeese State, made six saves.
Preston Riggs and Christian Davalos scored for the PNG boys in the first half. Colton Stone managed to punch in a short-range goal from the right-hand side early in the second half and reacted with his two index fingers pointing toward the sky while he was still sitting on the ground.
Garrison Vanhouten capped the scoring with a late penalty kick.
Luttrull also credited the Indians’ speed for their dominating performance.
“This might be one of my fastest teams I’ve coached in 11 years,” he said.
PNG’s girls team will take on upstart Port Arthur Memorial at Memorial Stadium on Tuesday in the first district meeting between both programs. Memorial’s boys team will visit PNG on Tuesday.
