The Lumpkin Co. Lady Indians soccer team (3-3-1, 1-0 Region 7-3A) defeated the East Hall Lady Vikings (0-4-1, 0-1) on Tuesday night, March 3, in Dahlonega, to earn the first region win of the season.

The first came from junior Ashley Read, and the second came off a corner kick from Read that was scored on a header from Spivey. Spivey scored her second goal just a few minutes later as Lumpkin Co. led 4-0 at halftime.

Less than 10 minutes into the second half, freshman Nicole Limehouse punched in a quick goal. A few minutes later, Kenney scored her second goal of the game. Read followed that goal with her second goal of the game just a few minutes later. Kenney got the hat trick three minutes after that to push the Lady Indians’ lead to 8-0.
