The Lady Pirate soccer team hosted rival Liberty Benton in a non-conference game at Steinmetz Field Tuesday evening.

The Eagles landed the first goal 22 minutes into the first half, and the Pirates responded 5 minutes later when Senior Sarah Theisen hit the back of the net with her first of 3 goals for the night. Half time score was 1-1. 

Six minutes into the second half, Theisen had a breakaway pulling the LB goalie way out of the net, and Theisen shot it right past her for her second goal. 

LB responded 10 minutes later, tying the score at 2-2. 

But the Pirates came away with the win when Theisen scored her third goal with less than 3 minutes left in the half.  Final score 3-2, giving the Lady Pirates an overall record of 8-4; 4-0 in the Northwest Conference.

Kelli Leugers and Ana Spiridigliozzi each had assists in the game.

Senior Captain and Goalkeeper Jadyn Barhorst had more than 15 saves.
