It's unfortunate that a game comes down to poor officiating – the bulldogs played a great game.
It's unfortunate when anyone feels the need to call out hard working officials for their team's loss
Willard’s first goal scored in the 5th minute by freshman Macie Cotter. The second Willard goal came from senior midfielder, Rebekah Mann, in the 35th minute. Shutout to junior keeper Brittaney Dunn.
We had overall good officials yesterday, but it is true that they didn't do a very good job, but things like that happen in soccer. Joplin's first goal was an obvious hand ball, but their second goal was a beatiful placed shot in the upper 90. We came down to play and did our best, had a couple opportunities that ended up in the post and others where we could not finish. Good luck to Joplin and Willard in the district finals, and go Bulldogs!!! I am proud of you!
