Evans 8 Goals is Second Most in a Game for LHS
Brynn Evans scored a game high 8 goals to lead Louisville. Evans scored a team record 5 goals in the opening quarter as the Lady Leopards stormed out to a 9-0 lead at the end of the first stanza. She also added a pair of goals in the second quarter and another goal in the third.
Louisville led 14-0 at halftime and 20-1 at the end of the third. The game would be called with 7:23 remaining after play stopped with a Southeast injury as the rain continued to pour down on the field.
Evans 8 goal total fell just one goal shy of the school record. Alexa Oberster still holds the team record scoring 9 goals in a game twice. Oberster scored 9 times in an 18-4 home win against St. Vincent-St. Mary on April 17, 2017. She also found the back of the net 9 times in a 20-3 road victory at Poland Seminary on May 9, 2017.
Evans would have been poised to tie or even break Oberster’s record had the remaining 7:23 been played.
Bricker Also Scores 7 Goals for Louisville
