Panther soccer roars to 2-0 start
Great Bend's Xali Arias scored three goals with an assist and goalies Paige Trendel and Grecia Dominquez combined for a shutout to spark a dominating 8-0 soccer victory Thursday over Wichita Independent.
Panther Hallie Rodriguez contributed two goals and an assist. Teegan Guerrera passed out two assists with a goal. Greidys Moreno had a goal and an assist. Valeria Cuevas delivered a goal and Arleth Sanchez and Brissa Leyva each dished out an assist.
Trendel stopped three shots in the first half and backup goalie Grecia Dominquez preserved the shutout with one save at Cavanaugh Field.
"With three saves for Paige and one save for Grecia, Paige had a 'clean sheet' and Grecia kept the clean sheet," said Great Bend coach Noel Rodriguez. "Our defenders Araceli Aguilera, Melissa Gutierrez, Alexis Simon, Brooke Bodine and freshman Jaylene Valles earn credit for helping with the clean sheet."
Rodriguez said the Panthers' midfield play keyed a dominant performance.
"Roxy Rodriguez, Kaylee Espino, Alejandra Castruita and Sam Escobedo provided good minutes to rest up our starting midfielders who played very well," he said. " We'll rest up and get ready for a busy week with three road games."
