Garretson 8, Worthington 0
WORTHINGTON -- Garretson, S.D., defeated Worthington 8-0 on Trojan Field, leading 4-0 at halftime and scoring four more goals in the second half.
Maylin Fabian Perez had a good game in goal for the Trojans, stopping many shot attempts. A particularly exceptional moment occurred in the first half when Perez stopped a penalty kick that happened in the box due to a hand ball.
Head coach Anne Greenway said WHS (0-2) is beginning to see more action on offense than previous years but needs more work on controlling the ball in the midfield.
