Title game heartbreaker for Lady Tigers soccer
Playing in their first ever Regional Championship Game, the Beardstown Lady Tiger Soccer team lost a heartbreaker.
On the road last Saturday at Monmouth-Roseville against the host Titans, Beardstown lost 1 to 0. In a classic defensive battle, neither team could dent the net until a late penalty kick from the Titans gave them the game’s only goal and a trip to the Sectional game at Williamsville. Monmouth-Roseville improved to 13-4-3 with the win.
Walk off loss ends Lady Tiger season
A tough season for a young Beardstown Softball team ended with another heartbreaking walk off loss.
The Lady Tigers fell to Macomb in the opening game of the regional as the Bombers scored in the bottom of the seventh to win 4 to 3. It was the third straight time the girls lost in walk off fashion and the sixth time on the year. Beardstown finished 8-21 on the year but won four of their last six and with any kind of luck in close games could have won several more.
Winning streak for Lady Tigers
It was a busy and productive last week of the season for the Beardstown softball team as they matched their total wins from the rest of the year by winning four straight games. Improved defense was the key as the Tigers committed just twelve errors in five games, a number they have come close to matching in single games several times this year. They would drop their final game of the week last Saturday to finish the regular season at 8-20. The Lady Tigers were scheduled to begin regional play on Monday, May 13 at Macomb.
Lady Tigers notch regional soccer win
The evolution of the Beardstown girls’ soccer program continued as the Lady Tigers notched a first-round regional win last Saturday morning.
The girls shook off a late season mini-slump and crushed DePue Coop 9 to 0 to improve to 11-8-2 on the season. The win sets up a regional championship showdown against Monmouth-Roseville, who is 12-4-3 on the year, on their home field. The game was scheduled for 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, May 14. The Tigers and the Titans played to a 2-2 tie in Monmouth back on March 27.
