Grace Metzger also scored well in the throws, placing second in the discus and shot put, while Regan Mazour finished third in the high jump and the long jump.

Bobcat girls downed by Urbandale

URBANDALE — The Marshalltown girls soccer team traveled to take on CIML Iowa Conference foe Urbandale on Tuesday in a game that was nearly cancelled due to bad weather.

Despite a 31-minute weather delay midway through the game, the Bobcats and J-Hawks were able to mostly finish, as Urbandale came away with a 2-0 victory after the game was called with two minutes remaining.

The J-Hawks (4-3, 1-1) had 18 shots in the game compared to just two for Marshalltown (0-6, 0-3). Victoria Johnson recorded 10 saves for the Bobcats in the loss as well.

“We didn’t come to play at the start of the game with a lot of energy,” MHS head coach Stacy Galema said. “We were being reactive instead of anticipating and were trying to play too individual instead of as a unit.”

The Bobcats did play better after the lightning delay, Galema said, holding Urbandale to just five shots instead of the 13 prior and “only a couple of corners” in the second half.

“We obviously can’t rely on a lightning delay to get us energized and to get us going,” Galema said.

The Bobcats will take on Ankeny on the road Friday, starting at 7:30 p.m.
