VINTON \u2014 Nothing like making it dramatic…<\/p>\n
Camden Erhardt knocked home a goal less than two minutes into overtime to give the 10th-ranked Vinton-Shellsburg Vikettes a thrilling 4-3 win over Maquoketa Tuesday night at the Karr Complex.<\/p>\n
With the win, Coach Megan Hesson\u2019s Young Guns (14-2-1) will travel to Hudson Thursday night to take on the 3rd-ranked Pirates (16-2) in a 5:00 p.m. start with a trip to Ames and the Class 1A State soccer tournament on the line.<\/p>\n
Playing in front of what might have been the biggest crowd to ever witness a high school soccer game in Vinton, the Vikettes took a 3-1 lead into the intermission on an opening goal from Erhardt and two more from freshman gunner Ava Schirm, sandwiched around a goal from Maquoketa ace Maylyn Kluever.<\/p>\n
But midway through the second half Kluever hit on two more goals to tie the game at 3-3, sending the game into overtime.<\/p>\n
But Camden Erhardt wanted no part of OT. The program\u2019s second all-time leading scorer needed just 1:41 of extra time to blast the game-winner, setting of an explosion of sound from the Karr Complex pitch that was probably heard in Shellsburg.<\/p>\n
In an emotional, but joyful huddle after the game, Hesson praised her players, but also reminded them, \u201cWe\u2019re not done yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
Again, game time in Hudson is set for Thursday at 5:00 p.m. Tickets are available online on Varsity Bound.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"VINTON \u2014 Nothing like making it dramatic… Camden Erhardt knocked home a goal less than two minutes into…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":256240,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[9,24,63,62116,122,124,123,319],"class_list":["post-256239","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-overtime-sports","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256239","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256239"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256239\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/256240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256239"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=256239"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=256239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
