Goalkeeper Savannah Scott teamed with a sturdy defensive unit to help the Lady Dragons notch the shutout.

We just panicked and could not capitalize," said Nacogdoches coach Gari Dial. "However the girls kept their composure and were able to hang on to a 1-0 lead."

Nacogdoches hosts Center on Friday.

• The Nacogdoches JV won 4-0. Bayli davis, Abby Hendricks, Amy Balderas, Jayla Powers and Emma Bond were involved in the scoring. Kelley Bridges and Amy Martin combined in the shutout.
