LADY INDIANS SOCCER BLANKS MIDWAY

HEWITT — The Lady Indians picked up a crucial district victory on Monday evening as they beat Waco Midway, 2-0, to move into third place and draw within sight of a playoff berth.

Junior goalkeeper Liv Epps posted her fifth clean sheet in a row. In that stretch, the Lady Indians have amassed four wins and a draw at the most opportune time of the season.

The Lady Indians (14-3-3, 6-3-2) avenged an earlier 3-2 home loss to the Lady Panthers back on Jan. 26. In so doing, they stayed two points ahead of fourth-place Duncanville and are eight points clear of fifth-place Midway heading into Tuesday night’s games, but Midway (5-11, 4-3) still has a number of postponements to make up between the winter storm and COVID-19 precautions.

WHS will make up a match at seventh-place Waco High next Monday at 4:30 p.m., then will close out the regular season at Lumpkins Stadium against last-place DeSoto next Tuesday, March 16, at 6 p.m.
