SANFORD — The Lady Scots soccer team (3-7-1, 2-6 Sandhills Athletic Conference) lost 5-2 against the Southern Lee Cavaliers (3-8, 2-5 SAC) Tuesday night.
The Lady Scots were down 3-0 early before Emma Clark split the defense with a pass from Laura Wlodarczak and put it in the left corner of the net for the Lady Scots’ first goal of the game.
After being down 3-1 at the half, Southern Lee came out and scored two goals, Wlodarczak passed the ball to Clark at midfield, which resulted in Clark kicking a laser from 30 yards out and hitting the upper-right crossbar, and going in, to give the Lady Scots their final goal of the contest.
The Lady Scots return home to play Union Pines on Friday at 6 p.m.
