On Tuesday Dixie visited Cedar to continue region play. The Varsity girls faced a physical contest with the Lady Reds who tried their darndest to "out hustle and out muscle" the Lady Flyers. However Dixie held strong on the large, grass pitch and controlled possession for most of the game. Dixie opened the scoring when Dally fond the back of the net in the 10th minute. Dixie then held strong for the rest of the game until 3 minutes from time when Kenzie Cox aka "The Queen of Left" found the net again this season with another amazing angled shot from Her Majesty. That would be it at Dixie went on to win 2-0 and go 3-1 in region play.
J.V. also survived an even tuffer physical battle as girls fell all over the pitch and had to survive with limited subs. Dixie opened the scoring with a penalty kick in the first half awarded when Fabiana was taken down in the box. Alexis Winward then calmly went to the spot and buried the PK. Dixie held on until half way through the second half when Cedar equalized on a corner. Dixie, bloodied but unbowed, continued to fight back until the last minute in the game, when Fabiana was again taken down in the box and awarded a PK. Elle Roberts stepped to the spot this time and buried the winner. The J.V. showed great character in hanging on and battling for the win. Good job girls!
Next up Snow Canyon.
