Lions soccer loses 3-2 at SM West

? Justin Riley and Nick Andrews scored for Lawrence High’s boys soccer team in a 3-2 loss Tuesday night to Shawnee Mission West.

Robert Lyan assisted on Andrews’ goal.

The Lions fell behind 3-1 in the second half and couldn’t catch up.

“We did not come out strong,” LHS coach Mike Murphy said. “We didn’t take advantage of our opportunities. We’ll learn from our mistakes and move on.

“I thought at times our midfield played real well,” Murphy added. “I really felt like at times we controlled the game.”

The Lions (9-5-1) will entertain Shawnee Heights at 7 p.m. Thursday.
