While it was all tied up 1-1 at halftime, Mount Vernon was not quite Paris's equal in the second half on Saturday. They took a 4-2 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Paris Wildcats. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Wildcats this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 4-1 back in February.
Mount Vernon has also traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-9 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 14 goals over those four contests. The win (which was Paris' third in a row) raised their record to 10-8.
Coming up, Mount Vernon will head out on the road to face off against Pleasant Grove at 6:45 p.m. on Tuesday.
