Forrest, Community battle to 1-1 draw

Posted

CHAPEL HILL — Thursday night’s District 6-A backyard brawl matchup between the Community Viqueens and Forrest Lady Rockets delivered a physical, 80-minute melee that resulted in a 1-1 draw.
Forrest struck the first blow within the first five minutes of the match, only for the Viqueens to answer before the half.
That score stood through the remainder of regulation.
For the Lady Rockets, it was Maddie Stalnecker that put the Lady Rockets on the board early in the match off a long shot, 30 yards out from the goal.
Community continued to pour on the runs at the Forrest goal, but simply could not connect for the equalizer, until roughly 25 minutes into the match.
After the Lady Rocket defense came out of the box to make a play, Community handled a rebound and Zoey Dixon slotted home the tying goal.
Neither team was able to add to the lead and that score stood through the remainder of regulation.
Forrest will be back on its home field on Tuesday, hosting another District 6-A opponent in Cascade at 6 p.m.

Community 1 0 — 1
Forrest 1 0 — 1

First Half
F — Maddie Stalnecker goal.
C — Zoey Dixon goal.
