RICHMOND —
The Lady Indians battled a perennial state power to the final buzzer, but were not able to overcome one late goal.
Freshman forward Savannah Layne scored with just 2:33 left in the second half to lift West Jessamine (6-1-1) to a 1-0 victory Thursday in Richmond.
“They did an amazing job,” Central coach Chris Dunham said of his team. “Our defensive unit played as one. I’m proud of them.”
The loss was the first of the season for Central (5-1).
The Lady Indians were out-shot 11-4, but they had some good scoring chances.
Kennedy Harden hit the cross on a free kick and Maryssa Stewart had a shot hit the post.
Stewart created another good scoring opportunity when she cut to the net and sent a cross to Emily Willoughby that the freshman was not able to get a foot on.
Sam Shepherd made several good saves, including a point-blank stop on a West Jessamine player with 9:01 left in the second half.
Central is set to return to action Saturday at the Kentucky Bank Labor Day Classic at Bourbon County.
