The Wildcats were up 3-0 at the break.

Sydney Mann had the assist on Lingle’s goal. Josie Harris assisted on John’s goal, which came in the 68th minute.

Against Laurel, the Wildcats were down 2-1 at the half, after giving up an own goal at the 3-minute mark.

McAtee would get the Cats on the board at the 26-minute mark and Mann had a score 78 minutes in to make it 3-2.

The girls now travel to Bigfork to start conference play. The Valkyries are a solid club this year and are 2-1-1 while the Cats are 3-1. Bigfork tied Laurel earlier this season.
