PREP ROUNDUP: Lakeland girls play better in loss at Moscow

MOSCOW - The Lakeland girls soccer team had a strong first half and played well at times in the second half before falling 6-0 at Moscow on Monday night.

"We were much improved from the first time we played them (an 8-0, season-opening home loss)," Hawks coach Kevin Rogge said. "We played one of our best halves in the first half.
