Box Score The Dodge City women's soccer team had another tall task as they hosted one of the top three teams in the Jayhawk West for the third time in four games. This time the opponent was Hutchinson Community College, and the Conqs were not able to come up with the win falling by a score of 2-0.
The Blue Dragons got on the board quickly as they got a goal just 1:26 into the game when Sydney Blackwell headed a direct free kick from Hailey Burke and it dribbled into the net before the Conquistadors could clear it. The score stayed that way until halftime although Dodge had a big opportunity to tie the game late in the first half.
Liliana Vasquez got behind the Dragon defense and blasted a shot on goal, but Taylor Camp made a solid save for Hutch to keep the Conqs scoreless. The Dragons struck again in the second half when Brailey Moeder found the blasted a shot that Conq goalkeeper
Alexis McKinnon deflected, but it still made its way into the net. That gave Hutch the 2-0 lead that they would keep the rest of the way.
Dodge City was outshot by a 12-8 count, but they did manage to put five of their eight shots on goal. It was the first time in three games that Hutch's goal keeper was forced to make a save.
The Conqs will be back in action for their final home match on Wednesday when they host Hesston College at 2:00pm at Memorial Stadium. Despite the loss the Conqs have secured a spot in the Region VI Playoffs due to losses from other teams.
