The Louisiana High School Athletic Association state soccer playoffs took to the pitch Saturday. In Division II quarterfinal action, the No. 5 seed Lakeshore Lady Titans battled, but came up short, being edged 1-0 on the road by No. 4 seed Vandebilt Catholic. Both teams were up to the task early on and battled through a scoreless first half. Vandebilt Catholic was the beneficiary of a Lakeshore own goal 22 minutes into the second half, which proved to be the game-winner. Lakeshore coach Wes Leake said it was a very competitive match and felt like his team had more first half scoring opporutniites, but were unable to find the back of the net. Leake said the second half was pretty even. Leake named his keeper Ali Bernard his top defender as she was credited with six saves. Congratulations to the Lakeshore Lady Titans, who made their quarterfinal appearance, finishing 14-6-3.
