LEBANON, Mo. — Lebanon’s Mady Waterman scored late in the first half and the Yellowjackets limited Joplin to one shot in an Ozark Conference match.

“It was a very physical game,” said Joplin head coach Ed Miller. “It was a game of matchups and we had to move some people around. Lebanon has a good team.

“The girls played with a lot of heart. Our goalie (Megan Rowe) came out with some good saves. Kelly Stringer usually plays midfield for us but she played sweeper, and she played real well.”
