The Cartersville Lady Canes soccer team lost Wednesday night to visiting Rome, 3-2.

Cartersville (2-1-1) led 2-1 at halftime on goals by Hattie Williams and Kendyl Anderson.

Williams' goal came off a rebound of her own shot. Anderson scored off a free kick.

The visiting Lady Wolves scored the equalizer in the first ten minutes of the second half on an own goal. Rome later scored the game-winner with about 20 minutes remaining.

Rome improved to 5-0 with their win.

The Lady Canes play Dawson County Friday night at Weinman Stadium.

RIVER RIDGE 7, CASS GIRLS 0

The Cass girls soccer team fell 7-0 to River Ridge Wednesday at Doug Cochran Stadium.

The Lady Colonels' home opener was the first game on the Cass pitch since the team and school lost 18-year community coach, Phil Phillips. The long time coach died in January after a battle with cancer. The Cass girls (1-3) are wearing a patch with his initials on their uniforms this season.
