TKC lady lions were held to a 0-0 draw against Pratt.

Though there were chances for both sides the game ultimately ended scoreless. A tight encounter was to be expected as both teams are fighting to claim a playoff spot.

Kings showed great composure on the ball and were able to control the flow of the game, but ultimately could not break the deadlock. Pratt made a late push and nearly stole the game in the dying seconds.

The lady lions are in action next weekend when they travel to play Valley Forge
