The New Palestine girls soccer team played in dreadful conditions – wind, rain and cold – against one of the Hoosier Heritage Conference’s top teams Wednesday night.
The Dragons rallied with two goals in the closing minutes to beat Pendleton Heights 2-1.
The two teams battled throughout the evening, but neither could find the net until the final 10 minutes, when PH scored on a 20-yard free kick.
The Dragons rallied. Tylar Whitaker played a through ball to McKenzie Davis, who buried the shot to tie the game at 1-1 with seven minutes left. A minute and a half later, Anna Luker collected a ball that bounced off a PH defender and put it away for the game-winner.
The Dragons improved to 9-4-0 overall and 5-1 in HHC play with the victory.
The Dragon JV played to a 1-1 tie against the Arabians. Izzie Myers scored the Dragons’ goal.
