Waterford 12   Berne-Knox 0

On a wet Friday night in Waterford, the weather did little to dampen the offensive firepower of the Fordians who connected on six goals in each half, cruising past Berne-Knox in Class C girls soccer action.

Ten minutes in Cassidy McClement started the scoring onslaught, cleaning up a loose ball in front for the 1-0 lead.  

Four minutes later it was Peyton Galuski carrying her dribble from midfield, weaving her way through and past multiple defenders before drilling a shot past the keeper for a 2-0 advantage.

Mia O’Brien joined the scoring parade midway through the half connecting on a left foot delivery off the right wing that eluded a diving keeper.  

The next two scores came from Peyton Galuski, the first a left-footed rocket from five yards outside the box, while on the second she gained control on the edge of the midfield circle, and with the ball on a string carried it through the Berne-Knox defense before finishing top shelf for the 5-0 Fordian lead.

With three minutes left in the half Izzy Vecchio was left alone and figured why not, letting it go from 40 yards out and finding the net and a 6-0 halftime cushion for the home squad.

Over the second half of play Waterford continued their dominance with three players, Vecchio, McClement and O’Brien all scoring a pair of goals to earn hat tricks in the match, joining Galuski who had rung the bell three times before the break.

With the win the top seeded Fordians advance to the quarterfinals next week.
