The Philomath High School girls soccer team won for the fourth time this season on the eight-goal mercy rule with Tuesday’s 8-0 victory on the road over Sweet Home.
Senior Kamilla Grimmer added another hat trick to her list of accomplishments on the pitch and also had a couple of assists. Junior Madyx Mooney scored twice and had an assist and senior Bailey Bell scored one goal and had three assists. Juniors Petra Hernandez and Sophia Bauer also found the net.
Philomath High coach Mat Phelps said it was a good all-around team effort against the Huskies (1-7 overall, 1-3 Oregon West).
“Madyx Mooney played really well, connecting with good combination play and finishing,” Phelps said. “We were able to see some girls in different spots and try some new things.”
