The Hamilton Southeastern girls soccer team took a trip to Crown Point on Saturday, and came home with two victories.
First, the Royals beat the host Bulldogs 2-0. Southeastern scored its first goal with 10 minutes left in the first half; Chloe Count dribbled through the Crown Point defense and sent a ball to Tatum Coleman, who put it in the net. In the second half, Caroline Kelley scored on a penalty kick.
In their second game, the Royals cruised past Fort Wayne Carroll 4-0. Coleman scored the first goal three minutes into the game, with Kelley providing the assist.

But in the second half, Southeastern got rolling and put in three goals. Cole Lance scored early, with Kelley again making the assist. Kelley scored her own goal later, off a Makenna Loftin assist, then Coleman completed the scoring, with Riley Boyd handing out the assist.
