Carroll County girls’ soccer team did not get off to a good start on senior night Monday, Oct. 3, as they allowed visiting Paris to double it’s season’s goal total in the first 10 minutes of the match. But luckily, the Lady Panthers were able to match them, as the game ended in a 2-2 tie.

Paris High School had only scored two goals all season heading into the match, and they scored just two minutes and 39 seconds into the match. They would add a second goal with 31 minutes left in the half.

Carroll County clinched the top seed in the 31st District Tournament with a 3-1 victory over Gallatin County Sept. 29. The two teams split contests this season, with Gallatin defeating Carroll 2-1 on a shootout Sept. 20, but because Carroll won by two goals, they were awarded the tiebreaker.

The Lady Panthers volleyball team succeeded in the challenging task of defeating the same team three times in one season, earning their third victory over Williamstown, 3-1, Sept. 20.

“It’s hard to beat a team three times in one season, so it’s a good win for our team and a good conference win,” head coach Lynn Eaglin said.

Eaglin said the girls were enthusiastic about their new warm-up routine, which helped set the tone for the game.

Panthers soccer head coach Kevin States said his team played its best game of the season, as Carroll tied visiting Villa Madonna, 2-2, Saturday, Sept. 24.

The Panthers came out on the offensive, as Guillermo Cruz and Trystan Amick took the first two shots of the game within the first five minutes, but both were wide of the goal. The game was pretty evenly matched early, as both teams had runs and shots on goal.
