DES MOINES — The Marshalltown girls’ soccer team surrendered two first-half tallies in a 2-1 loss at Des Moines North’s Grubb Stadium on Tuesday night.

Vick Lumanya scored both goals for North (4-4-1), beating the back line of the Bobcat defense and dribbling in uncontested against MHS goalkeeper Sophia Valdez Chavez. Chavez got her gloves on the first Lumanya goal but got stranded in a 1-on-1 situation for the second goal.

Marshalltown outshot the Polar Bears 18-12, but only half of the Bobcats’ shots were on net. Brisa Medina-Vega made nine saves for North, which surrendered an own-goal for Marshalltown’s second-half tally.

Chavez finished with 13 saves for the Bobcats (7-6-0), who begin a three-game homestand to close the regular season with Friday’s 7 p.m. contest against Des Moines East.
