The No. 6 Douglas girls' soccer team ran into a tough McQueen squad Tuesday, losing 4-1 on the road.
Douglas struggled to find a rhythm in the first half but picked things up in the second half, getting a goal from Meghan Emerson.
Lisa Christen had the assist on the Emerson goal.
Goalie Jamie Greer had six saves and Krista Anderson was able to match McQueen's style of physical play well.
"We're still facing some growing pains," coach Lorraine Fitzhugh said. "Once we settled down in the second half, we got that goal, which was good."
Douglas dropped to 2-2-1 on the year.
The Lady Tigers are ranked No. 6 in the current Sierra Nevada Sports Media Poll and will take on rival Carson this weekend at home.
