“Losses are always tough,” North Laurel coach Kayla Carson said. “But thankfully they come with lessons. There were a lot of teaching opportunities tonight. We were able to adjust and make changes when needed and thats always a positive with a team.
“We came out and were able to get two goals early. We just couldn’t hold on,” she added. “Lincoln is a physical team and it was good for us to see that kind of competition. We’ve got a tough week coming up with three more physical games. We’re going to have to regroup and be ready to fight.”
