In a battle of state-ranked girls soccer teams, Class 2A No. 5 Norwalk lost a hard-fought 3-2 decision at Class 3A No. 7 Southeast Polk on Thursday night.

The undefeated Rams scored first during the opening three minutes of the game and took leads of 2-0 and 3-1 during the second half. Norwalk twice pulled within one goal during the latter stages of the match but was unable to force a tie before time expired.

Norwalk, now 3-3 overall, will have a week off before playing at Ames on Thursday, April 18.
