LHS soccer teams fall to Lake View

Sam Barbero: Forward's goal tied the game at 2-2.

The Lampasas High School boys' soccer team almost picked up its first win of the season Tuesday on the road against San Angelo Lake View, but a late Lake View goal spoiled the bid with a 3-2 loss.

The Badgers, who opened the game with good offensive pressure from Ross Weems and Jasetin McPherson, held a 1-0 lead at the 14-minute mark, but Lake View rallied for two goals to lead 2-1 at the half.

In the 44th minute, forward Sam Barbero scored on a one-on-one opportunity against the Lake View keeper to tie the game at 2-2.

A Badger red card forced the team to play the final 15 minutes of the game with 10 players, and Lake View broke the tie and held on to win.
