Saturday's Prep Roundup: Hurricanes roll to big girls' soccer win
Apr. 18—COUPEVILLE — The Mount Vernon Christian high school girls' soccer team showed few signs of a 511-day layoff Saturday when it took to the pitch against Coupeville.
Abby Russell had three goals as the Hurricanes swept aside the Wolves for a 9-0 season-opening victory.
Emily Russell scored two goals, and Kylee Russell, Hannah Van Hofwegen, Caitlyn Vanderkooy and Sophia Schmaus had one each.
Bella Gingerich recorded the shutout in goal, including getting two key saves in the first half.
"Overall, I was very pleased how the girls responded to the year of adversity they, and everyone, have faced," Hurricanes coach Mike Russell said. "Our performance was very good quality and all the work we've been doing since June of last summer really showed up today and the girls were rewarded for all their work."
