The Chillicothe Lady Hornet soccer team played in the consolation championship of the Excelsior Springs tournament Saturday morning against Savannah losing 2 to 0. The frigid playing conditions affected the play of both teams as the gale force winds kept either side from gaining any momentum. Savannah struck early with a goal three minutes into the game and then again five minutes later to make it 2 to 0. The Lady Hornets fought back and put together some nice offensive runs but were unable to get by the strong efforts of the Savannah goalkeeper. The rest of the game was back and forth but in the end Chillicothe couldn’t muster any goals. Although the Hornets lost two of three games including a 3 to 1 loss to North Kansas City in their opener, the coaching staff has seen great improvement throughout the tournament in terms of offensive possession and defense. The Hornets play next at Cameron on Monday, a team that they defeated 1 to 0 on Saturday.
