WARSAW — Westview faced a few challenges Saturday, Sept. 5 at the Warsaw Tiger Soccer Complex.
Not only was the heat index at or above 90 degrees for the afternoon match, but the Class 1A No. 1 Warriors were facing a strong Class 3A Tigers team who was coming off a 2-1 loss at 3A No. 2 Homestead. Westview battled for the entire match but ultimately fell, 3-2, dropping its record to 6-2 on the season.
"We knew Warsaw was going to play possession with us in the middle," Westview head coach Drew Ryall said. "(Senior) Olivia (Bontrager), (junior) Makenna (Bender) and (junior) Josie (Ryall) tend to dominate the middle, but we knew Warsaw was going to have their way a little bit more today than other teams we've played.
"We were really pleased with our defensive shape and communication and making it really hard on (the Tigers)."
The Warriors scored first when sophomore goalkeeper Breanna Garrett — making her first career varsity start — sent a long punt that freshman Kierra Roose ended up putting in the net in the 5th minute.
