Lady Hatchets shutout NP
The Washington Lady Hatchets soccer team posted a 3-0 win over North Posey on Saturday at the Sports Complex.
Hatchet goals came from Alison Hill, Ava Babrick and Cassie Dillon.
“We held possession of the ball 90 percent of the game today. We came out hard and stayed consistent playing calm and controlled our movement to the ball and continuous passing was strong. We controlled the middle of the field today with three key players, Alison Hill, Lexi Nalin, and Ayla Owens. Our back line consisting of Strange, Johnson, Cox, and Hayleigh in goal definitely communicated well to keep feeding it forward. Several players rotated as strikers and wing mids and stepped to ball consistent. Very proud of the effort today,” said WHS coach Madi Lee.

The other JV victories were from Lengacher and Braylin Pridemore in singles action.
