The Douglas Tigers junior varsity girls' soccer team faced the South Lake Tahoe Vikings last week on a snow covered field Saturday morning.
Despite several hard earned shots on goal by Kyra Berth, Amanda Ferraro, Tamara Snight and Nicole Duster, Douglas couldn't manage any points on the board.
The Tiger defense fought the Vikings, and the slippery snow, and goalie Aleassa Anzelone came up with a big save, but the Vikings prevailed by the final score of 3-0.
Douglas then faced rival Carson on Tuesday and the Senators scored in the twentieth minute with a lob over the Tiger goalie's head.
The remainder of the game was scoreless even though Douglas dominated the field with the defenders successfully keeping the ball up the field. The offense maintained the attack with numerous shots on goal, including two close calls by defender Sarah Owens, but Carson held for the 1-0 win.
Douglas dropped to 8-3 overall with the losses.
