PARIS, Texas -- The Greenville Lady Lions stayed undefeated in District 20-4A soccer after outscoring Paris in an overtime shootout on Tuesday.

The two teams battled to a 0-0 tie in regulation. Greenville downed Paris 3-2 in the shootout as Bailey Phillips, Emma Hollingsworth and Brenda Hernandez scored in the shootout for Greenville.

Greenville is now 6-3-1 for the season and 2-0-1 in district play.

“It wasn’t the best game in the world,” said Lady Lions coach Ron Beck. “The field was soft and mushy. Not a great control game. Paris did a good job of staying in the game. We missed scoring opportunities.”

Ellen Robins and Emelie Kilgore took turns at goalkeeper to register the shutout in regulation. Sandra Zaquez played goalkeeper in the shootout.

The Lady Lions will return to district play at home on Friday against Princeton, starting with the junior varsity at 5:30 p.m.
