The Lady Bears gave it all they had Tuesday night in Poplarville, but in the end it was not quite enough as the home standing Pearl River Lady Wildcats took a 2-1 victory.

Taking a pass from Nohemy Giraldo, Auset Gibbs went one on one with the keeper and scored from inside the six to put the Lady Bears (2-4, 0-3) on top 1-0 at 8:15 of the game.

The Lady Wildcats scored at 16:50 to tie the game at 1-1.

The teams remained deadlocked until 75:40 when the Lady Wildcats (4-0-1, 2-0-1) scored what proved to be the winning goal.

Sophomore keeper Jennifer Solis had 17 saves in goal for the Lady Bears.

"We competed for 90 minutes today," said Lady Bears head coach Bee Casey. "Although the score didn't reflect it," she continued, "we continued to grow and we're ready to hit the field again on Saturday."

The Lady Bears will be home Saturday, beginning at 1:00 with an MACJC South Division matchup against the Meridian Lady Eagles.
