Carbondale 7, Sikeston 0

CARBONDALE, Ill., -- It was a rough outing for the injury laden Lady Bulldogs Friday as they fell 7-0 to Carbondale, Ill., in their first game of the Fralish Cup.

Sikeston gave up two early goals and never really settled in, according to Sikeston head coach Doyle Noe.

"Really battling through some injuries right now and came out flat against a very good Carbondale team," he said. "We'll have to have a much better effort."

Sikeston was scheduled to play St. Vincent on Saturday at 10 a.m. on the consolation side of the tournament bracket.
