MANSFIELD — Freshman Addy Wheeler, and junior Alli Thoman each netted
hat tricks to lead Athens to an 8-0 win over North Penn-Mansfield here
Thursday afternoon in NTL girls soccer action.
Senior Hannah Walker was also a major contributor in the win, scoring one goal, and doling out six assists.
The
Lady Wildcats opened the scoring about 2 1/2 minutes into the game when
Wheeler re-directed a corner kick from Walker past the keeper. It was
Wheeler’s first varsity goal.
A few minutes later, Walker
received a long ball, dribbled about 20 yards, and fired a shot into the
back of the net to make it 2-0.
Thoman got on the board later in
the half when she took a through-ball from Walker and knocked home a
shot from just inside the 18 to up the lead to 3-0.
Taylar Fisher capped the first-half scoring, with her first varsity goal on a penalty kick to make it 4-0.
Wheeler
scored the first two goals of the second half to complete her hat
trick, then Thoman scored the next two to do the same thing. Walker
assisted on all four goals.
Athens had a 19-2 advantage in shots-on-goal, and a 4-2 edge in corner kicks.
Junior Karlee Bartlow had two saves in net for Athens, while Tierney Patterson had 11 saves for NP-M.
Athens, now 3-1, face Fayetteville-Manlius Saturday in the opening game of the Baldwinsville Tournament.
