Dalton girls 2, Heritage 0

The Lady Generals (4-1 overall) were handed their first loss of the season at Dalton on Friday night, but co-head coach Kevin Terry said his team could take plenty of good things away from playing a team traditionally as good as the Lady Catamounts (6-1-1).

“We had a good share of possession and they didn’t get a bunch of chances, but they cashed in a penalty kick in the first half and then a ball bounced through somehow in the second half,” he explained. “Their physicality was a challenge for us and they were very organized on defense, but I feel like we can take a lot of positives from the match.”
