RAPID CITY – Kamryn Arnesen scored two second-half goals to lead Aberdeen Central to a 5-2  girls’ soccer victory over Rapid City Central Friday evening.

Aberdeen Central lead 1-0 at the break thanks to a Kyley Stewart tally in the early going.

While the first half was primarily a defensive one, the second half was more of a shootout. The two teams combined for three goals in the first six minutes of the second half, including the first of Arnesen’s two goals.

“We played pretty well through the midfield,” said Central coach Merle Aske. “We’re able to get the ball behind their back line and finish getting goals.”Gracie Lozenski and Keyanna Stillman each added a goal for the Golden Eagles. 

Rapid City Central goals both came off the foot of Avery Young. 

The Golden Eagles (3-2) will face Rapid City Stevens on today to close out their West River stay.
