GREENVILLE -- Greenville’s Lions will try to put a 3-0 loss to Sulphur Springs behind them as they close out the home soccer season tonight against Paris.

The Lions will also celebrate senior night. Scheduled game times are at 5:30 and 7:15 p.m. for the junior varsity and varsity matches at T.A. “Cotton” Ford Stadium.

Greenville has three remaining road games set for Saturday at North Lamar, Tuesday at Princeton and March 13 at Commerce.

Sulphur Springs moved up into a tie with the Lions for first place in District 20-4A after getting a hat trick from Carlos Martinez, who was a late substitute in Friday’s game.

The loss dropped the Lions to 7-6-3 for the season and 4-1-1 in district play. Greenville has split with Sulphur Springs in two district games, beating the Wildcats 1-0 in Greenville on Feb. 11.
