Indianola Girls Soccer Faces Valley in Regional Semifinal

The Indianola girls soccer team has won four of their last six contests coming into the regional semifinal contest tonight after facing absences throughout the season due to COVID-19, but will have their toughest test of the campaign tonight on the road at #1 WDM Valley. The Indians dispatched Ottumwa in the first round of regional play 5-0 last week, but will have to try to overcome a Tigers squad that has only dropped a single contest all season long. The Indians are one of the top shooting teams in class 3A, sixth in shots and tenth in shots on goal percentage, and will need all the offense they can muster against a Valley squad that has the most goals scored in class 3A. Action starts tonight at 6pm at Valley Stadium.
