Saint Stephen’s 7, Keswick Christian School 5: Elle Johnston had a hat trick with three goals, Ayla Johnston added two, and K.K. Hart and Kendall Miller had solo shots in Monday’s victory at home.
Miller and Janie Chatham had three assists apiece, and Johnston had one.
Emma Craig earned her fourth shutout in goal.
“I was very pleased with the way the team played tonight,” said head coach Andrew Sopher. “Our veteran players did a great job getting our subs involved, which lead to a great second half. Aubrey (Dunbar) and Kendall (Miller) dominated our left side of midfield, and Elle (Johnston) came off the bench to score a hat trick — and Janie (Chatham) really drove the ball through the box on a few beautiful crosses to find her teammates. The second half really showed our depth and potential our team has moving forward. We’re still waiting on getting some pieces of the puzzle back and fit to play, but tonight was exciting to see our youth shine.”
