GIRLS SOCCER: Lady Knights suffer first defeat of 2012 season

It was a rough day for the Eisenhower Lady Knights soccer team, falling to 0-1-1 with a 3-0 home loss on Monday to Seneca at Eisenhower High School.

"We need to do a better job of passing with a purpose, and we need to be more aggressive going after the ball," said Eisenhower coach Kevin Weigel, whose Lady Knights had trouble getting offense going in their second match of the season. "Seneca did a much better job stringing passes together and getting scoring opportunities."

The Bobcats took advantage of those opportunities with a Jeannette Koeth goal in the first half, and two more by Megan Fish and Judy Adams, respectively, in the second half to close out the game.
