Amelia Koellhofer stopped 10 shots on goal Tuesday afternoon, but the junior’s efforts were not enough to keep the Verona High School girls soccer team from falling to Livingston 4-0.
The Lancer’s scoring came from four of its juniors–Ceci Freschi, Jadyn Liebman, Kelly Lyons and Guilia Wilson. Verona got eight shots on Livingston’s goalies.
The win drops Verona’s record to 4-6. Verona’s girls have two more games on their schedule, both away. They travel to Columbia on Friday, November 6 and then up the road to Mount Saint Dominic next Tuesday, November 10.
