Lady Wildcats fall in first league game

It was not the way the Taft varsity girls soccer team wanted to start the season but their biggest nightmare became reality Friday night in a 5-0 loss to the Bakersfield Christian Eagles in Bakersfield.

Scoring was quiet through the first part of the opening half. After the Lady Eagles finally broke through with a goal over halfway through, the floodgates opened with Bakersfield Christian scoring three goals in a short amount of time to lead 4-0 at the end of the first half.

The Lady Eagles struck one final time near the midway part of the second half with a goal on a penalty kick.

Taft returns to action Monday when they host Arvin. The match begins at 6 p.m.
