Lady Bears win close one over visiting Itawamba

The Lady Bears withstood a late rally by the visiting Itawamba Lady Indians and moved to 2-0 on the young season with a 3-2 win Friday afternoon.
 
Taking a pass from Nohemy Giraldo, Auset Gibbs scored and gave the Lady Bears a 1-0 lead in 36th minute of the game. The Lady Bears then took the slim lead into the half.
 
With Gibbs providing the assist, Laterika Borden scored her second goal of the season at 55:00 of the game to increase the Lady Bears' lead to 2-0.
 
The Lady Bears seemed to have the game well in hand in the 72nd minute when Tytianna Coleman's pass to Lesley Walker resulted in a goal and a 3-0 lead.
 
The Lady Indians, however, refused to go quietly, adding a pair of goals in less than 3:00 to close the gap to 3-2.
 
That proved to be it for the visitors as the Lady Bears held on for the slim win.
 
"We became very complacent in the last 15 minutes," said Lady Bears head coach Bee Casey, "and added more pressure and struggle when they (the Lady Indians) were able to notch two goals in pretty easily and quickly. But, we stayed composed and we stayed together and we were able to knock out another team and get that W."
 
The Lady Bears return to action on Saturday when they host Northwest in a scheduled 1:00 contest.
