Larks drop close match to Conquistadors

Hesston College women’s soccer found themselves on the wrong end of a 1-0 scoreline as Dodge City Community College netted a late goal to knock off the Larks in their final regular season match.

The Larks had a few good chances to get on the board but were unable to finish. Sophomore Allison Ebersole (Boulder, Colo.) saw herself in on goal in the 15th minute after latching on to a through ball but after beating the goalkeeper, saw her shot cleared off the line by a defender. The match didn’t produce any goals in the first half as both sides played disciplined defense. In the 75th minute the Conquistadors were able to unlock the defense scoring the lone goal of the match. Hesston College pushed numbers forward in the final 15 minutes searching for the equalizer, unable to do so. The win pushes the Conqs to 8-7 while the loss dips the Larks to 12-5 overall.

After a successful regular season, women’s soccer is expected to host a first round Region IV playoff match on Saturday October 29, time and opponent to be announced.
