The Argos Lady Dragons hit the road Thursday night to take on the Morgan Township Lady Cherokees. The Dragons secured their first win of the season with a 5-2 victory.
The Dragons got on the board first when Madison Reynolds’ free kick found Emily Pippenger, who ran onto the ball, outran her defender, and took on the goalkeeper one-on-one to make it 1-0.
Minutes later, the Dragons were on the attack again. Alexa Urednick created space on the outside and sent a cross into the middle of the field, where Leah Pizzuto buried it in the back of the net to give Argos a 2-0 lead.
Just before halftime, Pizzuto scored her second goal of the night. She and Samantha Umbaugh put together some excellent combination play as they worked their way down the field and beat the goalkeeper to extend the Dragons’ lead to 3-0.
Morgan Township came out strong in the second half, scoring twice early to cut the Dragons’ lead to just one goal.
With 10 minutes remaining, the Dragons earned a corner, and after the ball bounced around in the box, Haley Shafer was there to clean it up and find the back of the net, making it a 4-2 game.
The final goal of the night came in the 76th minute. Pizzuto broke away and capped off her hat trick with a well-placed shot beyond the goalkeeper’s reach, giving the Dragons a 5-2 victory.
The Dragons improve to 1-2-2 on the season and will take a brief hiatus before returning to action Thursday, September 3, when they once again hit the road to take on the Tippecanoe Valley Lady Vikings.
