Lions fall 2-1 against SMNW

? Playing in only its second game in the last 16 days, Lawrence High’s boys soccer team lost, 2-1, against Shawnee Mission Northwest on Thursday at SM South District Stadium.

Trailing the Cougars (5-1) by two goals in the second half, LHS senior Cain Scott scored a goal on a free kick with 23:12 remaining.

“That’s one of the reasons we put Cain on the ball on those set pieces because he’s got a good shot,” LHS coach Mike Murphy said. “He put it right on goal, right where it needed to go. He got us right back in the game, but unfortunately we just didn’t have enough for the last 15 minutes there to get the equalizer.”

The Lions (2-2) will travel to Shawnee Mission West at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
