Xavier girls booted by No. 1 Lancers

Karli Rucker and Rylie Rucker helped North Scott defeat Xavier in the  semifinals of the Class 4A girls state basketball tournament in Des Moines this past season.

The Rucker sisters tormented the Saints again Saturday, this time in a soccer match at Heco Field.

Karli Rucker and Rylie Rucker scored two goals apiece as North Scott topped Xavier, 4-2, in a non-conference match.

North Scott (5-1) is ranked No. 1 in Class 2A and Xavier (3-2) is ranked No. 12 in Class 2A.

North Scott jumped to a 3-0 lead in the first half. Peyton Sadilek and Addy Hoffman scored for the Saints in the second half, but it was not enough to overcome the early deficit.

Hoffman and Paige Diebold collected assists for Xavier.
