Olathe ? Olathe Northwest’s soccer team defeated Lawrence High, 1-0, on Tuesday at Northwest’s field.

“It seemed like we were on our heels the first 10, 12 minutes,” LHS coach Bill Kelly said after his team fell to 2-7-1 on the season. “They got an easy goal and it was evenly matched the rest of the time, both teams playing the best they could. We couldn’t string enough passes together to make connections to get the ball in the back of the net.

“The ball was played in the midfield an awful lot. Defenses shut people down. They connected on passes better than we did.”

LHS will meet SM Northwest at 7 p.m. today at YSI following a 5 p.m. junior varsity game.
