Ladies Continue Hot Start

The Warsaw girls soccer machine continued on Thursday at Columbia City, beating the hosts 7-3.

Anna Sullivan returned to the lineup and made an immediate impact, scoring two goals in the first six minutes of the match. Sydney Weideman and Liz Van Wormer then scored goals within six minutes of each other to give the Lady Tigers a 4-0 lead after 15 minutes played.

Anna Grill made it 5-0 with a tally eight minutes before half as Warsaw were well on its way to its eleventh win of the season in as many matches.

Breck Jackson and Alyssa Atkins added second-half goals for Warsaw. Van Wormer was credited with a pair of assists and Weideman had a helper.

Rachel McClelland didn’t need to make a save in first half in her first-ever varsity goalkeeping start. Jasmine Cacahua made two saves in the second half in what was also her first varsity action. Regular starter Chloe Snow, who left Monday’s win against Fort Wayne Northrop with an injury, did not see the field Thursday.

The Warsaw JV also left the Whitley County seat with a win, 2-0, over City in a shortened match. Katiana Rodriguez scored both goals for Warsaw.

Warsaw will have the weekend off before visiting Fort Wayne Snider Monday.
