The freshman class for the University Heights Academy Lady Blazers soccer team provided a good look at what the future looks like for the program during Monday night’s All A Classic matchup against Lyon County at Givens Field. And, if Monday night was any indication, the future looks bright and may already be here.

The freshman class scored seven of UHA’s ten goals as the Lady Blazers rolled to a 10-0 win over the Lady Lyons to advance on to the All A regional semifinals.

After being shut down in the first half, freshman Audrey Perry scored three goals in a fifteen-minute span of the second half for her second hat trick in three days.

Fellow freshman Skyler Cantrell got the Lady Blazers going with a long shot from the left side at 16:30 to make it 1-0. Cantrell assisted on a goal by Addi Fourqurean just over five minutes later. She would score her second goal in the waning second of the first half to extend the lead to 3-0.

UHA then effectively closed out the match with a five-goal blitz in the first 23 minutes of the second half. Three from Audrey Perry, one from Alysa Grise, and one from Anna Fourqurean to run the lead out to 8-0.

Freshman Emily Smith found the net at 77:30 and then Riley Bruce beat the goalie inside the final two minutes to bring in the ten-goal rule to end the match.

For the match, UHA had 29 shots on goal to the Lady Lyons’ ten shots. UHA goalie Lucy Wilkins went the distance to get the shutout.

Lyon County did have some good looks at the goal, especially in the first half when the result was in doubt, but just could not get the ball to find the net. That would enable UHA to build the momentum that finally overwhelmed the Lady Lyons in the second half of play.

UHA improves to 2-1 with the win, which was their second straight by a 10-0 score. Lyon County drops to 1-2.

UHA will travel to Princeton to take on Caldwell County in a regional semifinal Tuesday night. That game will be played following the boys All A regional semifinal between Caldwell County and Heritage Christian.

Lyon County will be back in action Thursday when they go on the road to take on Union County.
