Lady Tigers Lose in Shootout at Carthage

The Republic Lady Tigers overcame a two-goal deficit in the 2nd half at Carthage, before losing in a shootout 3-2.

The teams were scoreless at halftime, but Carthage scored back-to-back goals around the 30-minute mark, and looked like they had the match under control. But Sara Marcotte scored on a penalty kick about ten minutes later to cut the lead in half. She added an unassisted goal shortly after that to tie the game 2-2.

The teams were scoreless the rest of the way in regulation, and neither team scored during two 10-minute overtime periods. Carthage won the shootout tiebreaker to claim the victory.
