The Green Forest Lady Tigers have had a little bit of extra motivation for the 2022 soccer season. The Lady Tigers have bounced back with an outstanding season after a 6-2 loss to Harding Academy in the championship game of last year’s Class 3A state tournament.

If there’s any soccer team in Arkansas riding more of a hot streak than the Green Forest Tigers, it might be the Lady Tigers.

The Green Forest Lady Tigers’ 2022 softball season ended with a 25-0 loss to Elkins on Thursday, April 28, in the second round of the 3A-1 West district tournament — but not before the Lady Tigers picked up a blowout win of their own in the first round.
