University Heights Academy’s Lady Blazers soccer team opened play this morning in the prestigious Gothia Cup in Sweden.
Sweden Varmdo IF defeated the Lady Blazers 4-0 as UHA conceded two early goals as they adjusted to the international play and nerves.
After settling in, UHA gave up a goal 3 minutes before half to trail 3-0 in their first pool play game of the tournament.
The Lady Blazers generated several scoring opportunities late in the first half and had a few more in the second half but were unable to find the back of the net.
The final goal was scored in the final minute.
UHA is back in action Tuesday against Renheim IL of Norway.
