Glen Lake girls soccer braved an intense TC Bulldog comeback Monday, 2-1, as the Laker defense held tough down the stretch.
“My team stuck with the plan that we went with and we converted some good opportunities. We are going to have to give more and convert more opportunities in our next game and give a little bit more effort on both sides of the ball,” Glen Lake girls soccer coach Eric Oleson said. “I want them to keep working for each other, playing the ball to each other, and just putting the ball in the net when they have the chance.”
Glen Lake freshman Brook Cooper scored both goals against the Bulldogs.
Cooper got the Lakers on the board first off an assist from defender Nora Ciolek, only a minute into the contest.
Glen Lake senior captain Taylor Randolph found Cooper again for her second goal of the game after being initially denied by the Bulldogs with 15 minutes remaining in the first half.
The Bulldogs would come alive in the second half and cut into the Lakers lead with 12 minutes remaining in the game.
Traverse City would nearly tie the game off a header that went wide of the net with under 10 minutes remaining.
Glen Lake managed to clear the ball a few more times to come away with the non-conference win. Laker junior Andi Forton earned the win in net.
The Lakers host Suttons Bay Wednesday then Hart Friday at 5 p.m.
