In a nail-biter, the Matanzas Lady Pirates soccer team lost to Bartram Trail, 4-3, in a District 4-5A matchup on Nov. 15. Bartram went up early 1-0 in the game on a defensive mistake. The Lady Pirates battled back, though, and leveled the score at 1 after forward Gabbi Paiz netted her 19th goal of the season.
Matanzas (5-2, 2-1 District 4-5A) took a 2-1 lead after Karen Rodriguez got on the other end of Stephanie Giminez’s searching ball into the box. Bartram was able to equalize right before halftime and then took a 3-2 lead on a penalty kick early in the second half. But the resilient Lady Pirates tied the game at 3-3 after Giminez finished off a pass from Alyssa Santos.
Bartram was able to score on a breakaway later in the game to take a 4-3 lead.
Last season, Bartam Trail mercy-ruled Matanzas, 8-0. Matanzas continues its schedule 7:20 p.m. Monday, Nov. 26, at home against Orange Park.
