Skyview scored in the last five minutes to pull out a come-from behind win over Mountain Home last Thursday at Eastside Park in Mountain Home.

Mountain Home regained the lead in the second half, but Skyview scored two quick goals to go up, 4-3. Shianna Hawley's third goal of the game knotted the score at 4-4.

The Lady Tigers had two shots on goal to go ahead, but failed to connect, as Skyview managed to score late to win it, 5-4.

"It was quite a shootout! said Mountain Home girls soccer coach Carlos Jacome afterwards. "It was a pretty good game. We hustled, but there were things we didn't do and we paid for it.

"Overall, it's been the best game we've had. It was a fight all the way."

Shianna Hawley scored another hat-trick (three goals) -- her third of the season. Angelina Garcia scored the other Mountain Home goal.
