Less than a month after losing its only game of the season, the Lady Falcons defeated visiting Union Grove 1-0 behind Westosha Central Junior Alyssa Hrncar’s eight shutout, and a key Jenna Kontaxis hit in the fifth inning.

With Hrncar and Union Grove’s Brittany Moore dueling through four-plus innings, Moore walked senior Elaine Andersen to lead off the bottom of the fifth inning.

After an Andersen stolen base and a single, Jenna Kontaxis came to the plate, where she knocked in Andersen for the eventual game-winning run.

Westosha Central, ranked No. 2 entering Thursday’s game, are deadlocked for first-place with No. 1 ranked Union Grove in the Southern Lakes Conference (9-1).

Hrncar tossed seven innings, struck out three, walked none and allowed four hits.

Kontax went 1 for 2 with an RBI for the Lady Falcons.

Moore pitched six innings for Union Grove, where she allowed four hits, walked two and struck out two.

Hrncar and Kontaxis shared their thoughts on Thursday’s game.
