Hays topples Lehman on the pitch in 1-0 victory

It was a cold Tuesday night battle on the pitch between cross-town rivals (3-6-1) Hays and (2-6-1) Lehman where both defenses showed up to win, but it was the Lady Rebels and their second half goal scored by striker Kayli Wagner that gave them the 1-0 win over the Lady Lobos at Lobo Field.

“In the first half everybody started nervous,” said Hays head coach Mario Bellver. “Lehman is always motivated in playing against Hays, so we were evenly matched. As soon as that goal went in, maybe it was psychological and that gave us the advantage.”

The game was a tale of two halves as Lehman had most of the momentum in the first half, but Wagner’s goal at the 35:35 minute mark in the second half swiftly gave Hays the momentum for the rest of the game.
