Over the last two matches, Lakeview boys' soccer team came close to a victory, but they lost 3-0 to Crete and 3-1 against Kearney Catholic. However, on Senior Day at Wilderness Park, the Vikings finally clinched a win in a thrilling 2-1 overtime victory over Seward.
Despite conceding the opening goal, the Vikings' sophomore Wilmer Hernandez managed to level the score just before halftime, making it 1-1. The game remained tied until deep into double overtime when another sophomore, Adan Ramirez, scored a penalty kick to secure the win for Lakeview.
"It was a big night for us being Senior Night. The atmosphere was great. The biggest crowd we've had all season. I'm very happy for the guys," Lakeview boys head coach Aaron Rudloff said. "I felt like they really bought into the game plan. We faced some adversity early with a goal that kind of squeaked in on us, but the guys just rally back. We got quite a few shots after that to the point where I thought we should have scored one or two more goals. It was them executing the game plan and when you do that consistently over the course of 100 minutes, that's when good things are going to happen."
Lakeview broke their 10-match losing streak by defeating Seward on April 26, 2022, almost a year after their last win. With a 1-9 record, they aim to end their regular season on a two-game winning streak against Madison, who currently has a 2-5 record.
