Minutes after its 2-1 win against Kennedy Catholic Tuesday night, the Lindbergh girls soccer team was still screaming in the locker room. Needless to say, the Eagles were excited.

“This group of seniors doesn’t even remember scoring on Kennedy, let alone beating them,” said Lindbergh coach James Valles. “So this is a really big deal, a really big deal.”

The Lancers (4-4-1 overall, 3-1-1 Seamount) went up 1-0 on a penalty kick from Kirsten Olson late in the first half. Lindbergh (4-3, 4-1) tied the game in the 60th minute.

Goalkeeper Audrey Cunningham kicked the ball out of goal, midfielder Whitney Hilde head butted the ball, and forward Jordyn McLuen knocked the ball in.

“Just scoring one goal makes a huge difference in the game,” Valles said.

Just over two minutes later Hilde made a penalty kick to give Lindbergh the lead. From that point, the Eagles just had to hold on.

“That was the longest 20 minutes of my life,” Valles said.

Valles said his team is coming together at the right time and this win will just build even more confidence.

“Given this game and how we played, I think we’re a team to be reckoned with,” he said. “We’ve got some hard teams coming up. This isn’t the end of it, this is the beginning.”

Lindbergh will take on Foster Oct. 4.
