Make it 13 straight wins for the University Heights Academy Lady Blazers against 8th District soccer competition. The latest win in that streak came Wednesday night as the Lady Blazers picked up a 7-2 win on the road at Fort Campbell.
The last loss to a district opponent for the Lady Blazers was back in the district championship match in 2021 when UHA dropped a 2-0 decision to the Hopkinsville Lady Tigers.
The Lady Blazers used three goals in a span of just over ten minutes of the first half to take control in this one. Audrey Perry scored off an assist from Gracie Ausenbaugh at 16:40 to put UHA up 1-0.
The Lady Blazers found the net again at the 25:00 when Kendall Hancock scored to make it 2-0. Skylar Cantrell assisted on the goal.
The lead grew to 3-0 just moments later, at the 27:00 when Audrey Perry scored for the second time of the night. That would be the score as the two teams went off to the halftime break.
Fort Campbell got a score just over six minutes into the second half that cut the lead to 3-1.
The Lady Blazers came right back less than two minutes later when Audrey Perry drilled the penalty kick after the Lady Falcons were called for a handball in the box, and UHA pushed the lead back out to three goals at 4-1.
The Lady Blazers scored again at 56:17 when Kendall Hancock found a loose ball off a corner kick right in front of the goal and put it into the net to move the lead out to 5-1.
The Lady Falcons momentarily stemmed the tide with a goal at 59:16 to trim the lead to 5-2.
UHA closed things out with a pair of goals over the final 20 minutes. Kendall Hancock got the Lady Blazers’ second hat trick of the night, scoring off a pass from Audrey Perry at 61:10. Then, at 77:30, Hancock returned the favor setting up Perry for her 4th goal of the night as UHA finished out the 7-2 win.
Madison Williams had another solid night in goal for the Lady Blazers, finishing with three saves.
Fort Campbell’s goals in the match came from Mylah Sawyer and Anna Allen.
UHA (9-2-0) is back in action Thursday at Givens Field against Christian County.
Fort Campbell (6-5-0) is off for a week before going on the road to Paducah Tilghman next Thursday.
