From the opening whistle, the Lady Cougars pressed the attack while playing solid defense and limiting Alleghany’s scoring chances. The Cougar back line held firm in midfield, allowing the Lady Cougars to play much of the game in the Alleghany half of the field.
Seven minutes into the game, Kyra Titular opened the scoring for Patrick County, adding another just minutes later and completed the hat-trick with three minutes to go in the first half.
Kendall Williams scored seven minutes in on a penalty kick following an Alleghany handball in the penalty box. Rounding out the scoring in the first half was Raeli Moran, who found the back of the net in the last minutes of the half, giving the Lady Cougars a 5-0 lead.
Just minutes into the second half, Alleghany had their best scoring chance of the night following a Lady Cougar foul in the penalty box. Keeper Skye Ayers made the big save, preserving the shutout.
Much of the second half the Lady Cougars used very effective passing to create scoring chances, paying off ten minutes in on Raeli Moran’s second goal of the night. Camille Gonzalez and Jewel Iacovone added goals to give the Cougars the 8-0 win.
The victory moved the Lady Cougars to 8-6 on the season, riding a three-game winning streak in which they outscored their opponents 18-0.
