It has been hard to catch up with the Cardinal soccer team. This is a summary. The Soccer Cardinals faced the very tough Osage Indians on Thursday, Oct. 7 and took a 6-0 loss. It was close at the half 2-0, but then the game got away from them. Of course, it did not help when the Cardinals’ senior defender, Noah Adams, got a Red Card and had to leave the game (and miss the next game). The Cards have also been fighting injuries and a challenging schedule. They faced the Warrensburg Tigers at home on Tuesday, Oct. 12. The varsity won 5-1 and the JV played to a 1-1 tie. The Cards traveled to Camdenton to face the Lakers on Wednesday, Oct. 13. It was a good match but the Cards came up one short losing 2-1.
