Conway 0, Southside 0

A phenomenal performance from Conway junior forward Kailyn Pavatt proved to be the difference in Tuesday’s 6A-Central girls soccer opener at Jim Rowland Stadium. Pavatt accounted for all five goals, three of those coming in the second half, to help the Lady Wampus Cats past Southside, 5-1. “The girls, they played their heart out,” Southside coach Bijan Timjani said. “We just don’t have what you would call enough depth. ... We just basically have a young team, and the combination of a lack of experience and lack of depth, that’s what we’re (facing).” Pavatt opened the scoring for Conway (4-1-1, 1-0) with a goal early in the game. But the Mavericks (0-3-1, 0-1) were able to tie the score on a shot from Moorea Kleck off a corner kick midway through the first half. It remained 1-all until late in the half, when Pavatt took advantage of a rebound on a Conway kick attempt and put the ball back in through the net. Then, in a span of seven minutes in the second half, Pavatt broke the game wide open. With less than 17 minutes left, she delivered a shot from about 30 yards which landed directly in the top portion of the net before falling through. Pavatt made it 4-1 minutes later by finding the left side, and she had her fifth and final goal with 9:46 remaining. Conway goalkeeper Reagan Graff came up with two saves. Southside’s goalkeeper, Melanie Rice, stopped 11 shots.
