After back-to-back losses, Warren Central’s girls soccer team was working on the weekend to find some success — and it did.

The Lady Vikes got back in the win column with two victories at the Laurel Showcase on Saturday, beating Newton County 2-1 and Poplarville 5-1.

Addi Mullen and Kennedy Smith each scored a goal against Newton County, while keeper Emily Harvey made 10 saves.

In their second game, Jordan Polk racked up four goals to lead the Lady Vikes (3-2) to a rout of Poplarville. Evella Fairley also scored a goal, and Harvey made four saves.

Warren Central will be back in action Tuesday, against Terry at Key City Park (formerly Sports Force Parks). The girls-boys varsity doubleheader will begin at 5:30 p.m.
