The Viking soccer team fought hard but was unable to keep pace with Pius XI in the Woodland Conference opener at WLHS on Monday night, falling to the Popes 4-1.
Pius scored twice in the first half to jump out to a 2-0 halftime lead. Noah Oertel's goal brought Wisco back to within a goal, but the Popes found the net twice more to pull away for the victory.
The Vikings host Kettle Moraine Lutheran in a non-conference match on Thursday, September 2. Game time is 6:30 PM.
