The Lady Pirates traveled to Liberty and defeated the Lady Patriots of Union County 4-0 Saturday morning.
Michael Myers opened the scoring twenty minutes into the game when her direct kick bounced off a UC player for a goal. With 7 minutes remaining in the half Kasey Moeller tracked down a punt by McKella Lynette for a breakaway score. The Lady Pirates had nice runs and even had a goal called back due to an offside infraction.
In the second half Abby Bausback scored her first career goal when UC did not clear the ball out of the box. The final goal came with 13 minutes to play after a UC defender was called for a hand ball in the box and Maddi Hellmich converted the penalty kick.
McKella Lynette made 12 saves in her shut-out win and a big credit to the entire defensive line for shutting down the attacking runs. Also taking shots on goal were Emma Overmyer and Emma Hellmich.
The win brings the Lady Pirates record to 2-1 on the season and they face Batesville at home on Thurday evening. Varsity kick off at 5PM with a JV half match after.
