Carmel, ranked No. 4 in Class 3A, beat Metropolitan Conference rival North Central 7-0 Monday at Murray Stadium.
Seven different players scored a goal for the Greyhounds, who are now 5-0 in the MIC: Ashley Witucki, Emily Speidel, Kelsie James, Elizabeth Hargis, Naomi Mann, Emma Antoine and Emily Roper. Making assists were Speidel, Kate Donovan, James, Elyse Reed, Hargis and Susie Soderstrom.
“We continue to work at scoring goals and seem to be making progress in that quest,” said Carmel coach Frank Dixon. “Our speed of play was much quicker tonight and that plus the fact that North Central was more than willing to attempt to play up and down the field with us lead to the 7-0 final.”
“Our defense, as usual, was solid but also got involved in the scoring with backs Emily Speidel and Elizabeth Hargis both having a goal and an assist. The scoring was distributed throughout the team with seven different players scoring a goal and six different individuals adding an assist. With her goal this evening, Kelsie James became the 15th player to score a goal this season plus we now have 15 players with at least one assist.”
The Greyhounds are 8-1-1 for the season.
