Rain rain, go away, we wanted to play soccer today!

Date:

            The Blue Dragon Soccer team played their final game of the regular season on Saturday, taking on the Groton Tigers.

            The Dragons were on track for a solid game when a lightning delay hit.

            "Saturday, after the lightning delay it was 0-0 at half," said Coach Amber Williamson. "We scored first when Jordyn Williams beat three defenders and found the back of the net, putting us up 1-0. Unfortunately, Groton came back in the final 16ish minutes and scored 3 goals."

            Reflecting on the season, Williamson said, "We really enjoyed the opportunity of being able to go West River to play this year and start the season out with a win against Belle Fourche and a very competitive game against St. Thomas More. We had some highs and lows throughout the season, but the past couple of games have played well against some of the top teams in the state."

            Postseason play for the Dragons, originally scheduled for Tuesday, was postponed due to weather and will begin today (Thursday), with the quarterfinal match to be held in Tea at 4:00 p.m. The Tea Titans are currently seeded number one while the Dragons are seeded eighth.

            "We look forward to the challenge of taking on the #1 team, Tea Area Titans on Thursday," said Williamson. "With the change of the playoff format, it allows us the opportunity to play another game this season and hopefully make some moves further into post season play."
