Katie Humphries made great save after great save but it was not enough to salvage a playoff berth for Warren Central Friday night.

Clinton got two second-half goals to upend the Lady Vikes 2-0 at Viking Stadium. The loss denied Warren Central (8-6-1, 2-1 Region 4-6A) a chance to clinch a playoff berth. But the Lady Vikes can still earn one with a win Tuesday at Vicksburg.

That’s what WC coach Trey Banks wants.

“Katie played her heart out but so did the rest of them,” Banks said. “We just weren’t able to take advantage of the saves she made. Clinton did a good job of taking us out of our comfort zone. It was good to hold them to 2-0. That was our goal. We want to make the playoffs.”

Clinton coach Thomas Bobo said Humphries kept WC in the game.

“She did a good job,” Bobo said. “We got it going in the second half. This is a smaller field than what we normally play on, so it was congested in the middle.”

The Lady Arrows (10-5-4, 3-0 4-6A) took command of the division. They had 15 shots on goal to WC’s six.

Clinton’s Daniella Oropeza had six saves.

Humphries made her biggest save at the 7:24 mark of the first half. Clinton had a one-on-one at the top of the box but Humphries denied the shot.

“I just had to stay grounded,” Humphries said.

Clinton finally scored at the 25:46 mark of the second half. Natalie Murphy took a feed from Caitlyn Morrow for the score.

Christine Little made it 2-0 with 13:17 to play.

WC’s best chance came in the final two minutes when Kelsey McMaster and Taylor Hanes got loose on a 2-on-1 break but could not convert.

(B) Clinton 3, WC 0

A loss on senior night puts the Vikings’ playoff hopes on life support. Clinton (9-3-6, 3-0 Region 4-6A) got goals from University of Kentucky signee Jonathan Brown, Mac Williams and Russell McCoon to spoil senior night for 11 WC seniors.

“It is much more bugging to me to lose a game like that,” WC senior Marcus Renner said. “The first goal they got was just plain lucky. Once we got behind, it was hard. We bounced back, but we missed that penalty kick and then I had one get tapped away.”

The loss drops WC to 12-3 overall and 1-2 in region play. They travel to archrival Vicksburg on Tuesday.

Clinton coach Jay Long credited his goalkeeper Jake Files.

“He made six saves and was the difference in the game,” Long said. “Even when we scored early, they had several chances to cut into it.”

Clinton outshot WC 13-10. Williams’ goal came in the fourth minute on a scrum. McCoon scored off a header at the minute and Brown got the last with 15:43 to play.

(G) Vicksburg 8, Greenville-Weston 0

Tabitha Hayden scored four goals to pace Vicksburg’s rout of Greenville-Weston at Memorial Stadium. Caitlin Patton, Raven Lawrence, and Amanda Guizerix added one apiece for the Missy Gators (4-9, 2-3).

(B) Vicksburg 6, Greenville-Weston 1

Jordan Watson and Chris Greenwood scored two goals apiece for Vicksburg (7-8-1, 3-2), while Will Robbins and Garrett Watson added one apiece.
