Fitzgerald's free kick goals spur LT to win

Lions soccer kicks off season with 2-0 victory over Waubonsie Valley

WESTERN SPRINGS — Lyons Township didn't create much offense through the run of play Thursday against Waubonsie Valley so it's a good thing Erin Fitzgerald has a knack for free kicks.

The Lions' junior, who is committed to play at Cornell, scored twice on free kicks from inside 30 yards for the game's only goals. Both shots were near the upper 90.

"I just hit it hard and it went in the right spot," Fitzgerald said. “I don’t really think about it when I shoot because when I think about it, it kind of messes me up. Basically I just look at where I want to shoot and I hit it as hard as I can because I don’t want it to go over."
