Junior co-captain Kelsey Fuller scored four goals and added two assists to lead Byron-Bergen to an 8-0 victory over visiting Pembroke in girl’s soccer.
The Bees, with only four starters returning to this year’s lineup, outshot the Dragons 38-4 in the contest and have now won six consecutive games after a season-opening loss.
Junior Julianna Amesbury began the scoring in the 19th minute as she found the net from the right corner of the box after a feed from Fuller.
Fuller scored her first of the game after a corner kick went directly to Miriam Tardy who had he attempt blocked. But it went right to the foot of Fuller with a wide open net to make it 2-0 at 30:16.
Less than two minutes later, junior co-captain Melissa MacCowan sent a through-ball to spring Tardy, who found the upper right corner of the net for her team-leading ninth goal of the season.
The Bees didn’t waste any time adding to their lead in the second half as Tardy took advantage of a miscommunication between the Pembroke goalkeeper and defense at 42:43.
Almost four minutes later Fuller knocked in the rebound from a chance that hit the crossbar to extend the lead to 5-0.
Tardy and MacCowan teamed up for a goal in the 65th minute after a wonderful back-pass gave the latter an open lane to shoot.
Junior Chloe Shuskey found Fuller, who put the ball just inside the right post to complete her hat trick in the 77th minute and, less than two minutes later, finished a pass from sophomore Veronica Duell for the final tally of the game.
B-B sophomore goalkeeper Hope Hersom registered her third shutout of the campaign.
