WAUSAU – Wausau West scored three times in a three-minute span early in the second half to pull away and eventually finish off a 5-0 win over Marshfield in a Wisconsin Valley Conference girls soccer game Tuesday at West High School.
Kayla Malourh scored in the 10th minute for West, which held on to the 1-0 lead through the end of the first half.
The Warriors busted the game open with goals from Allison Ruesch, Lindsey Lucht and Emma Steinbach within 3:07 of each other.
“We played well in the first half and without the benefit of a whistle on the second field, where many Tigers players stopped play, thinking it was for their game, or the score could have been 0-0 at half,” Marshfield coach Steve Lindner said. “The learning continues and the younger players continue to understand what it takes to win at the varsity level in the Valley.”
Clara Allar had three saves and Ava Sainterme two in goal for the Tigers.
Marshfield (4-3 overall and Wisconsin Valley Conference) hosts first-place D.C. Everest at 7 p.m. Thursday at Heiting Community Stadium. The game will be live at zaleskisports.com.
