Shelby Stewart scored both goals as Parkview defeated Joplin 2-1 in overtime Tuesday in an Ozark Conference soccer match at Junge Field.
Stewart’s first goal came just six minutes into the game when she snagged the ball at midfield and took it the distance to make it 1-0. Her last goal was nearly a mirror image of the first.
Joplin tied the game on Rachel Lazenby’s goal with five minutes left in the second half.
The Eagles outshot the Vikings 16-13 and keeper Randi Russell five saves for Joplin.
“I thought our girls played really hard tonight,” Eagles coach Ed Miller said. “We had 16 chances to score. I thought we were close on several occasions. We just didn’t finish it off.”
Joplin will find out its district seed today. The Eagles open district play on Monday.
