Dock Girls Soccer onto District Finals!
Last night, Girls Soccer hosted Calvary Christian Academy for the first round of Districts. With a focused and strong warm up behind them, the girls were determined to earn the ‘W’ to advance to the District Finals. After a shaky start, Dock finally settled into their game when Junior, Shelby Lapp, found the back of the net in the 15th minute to take the lead 1-0. Sophomore Ashley Brown received a beautiful through ball from Junior, Ava Stokes. Once Calvary’s goalkeeper came out to pressure Brown, she found Lapp open in the middle of the box with a perfectly placed ball for an easy finish. For most of the first half, Dock remained composed and was able to switch the field often through the midfield. With 10 minutes left in the first half, and a lot of commotion in the middle of the field, Brown was able to find Junior, Emerson Gruver in open space. Gruver played a quick one-two combination and found Brown on the run into the box. Brown found herself 1v1 with Calvary’s goalkeeper once again, and this time slotted the ball to the low, near corner to earn the second goal of the match. Less than two minutes later, Stokes found the back of the net off a beautiful through ball from Brown. Stokes made the perfect run right at midfield, to score on a breakaway against Calvary’s goalkeeper. Dock finished the first half with a 3-0 lead over Calvary. 13 minutes into the second half, goalkeeper Emily Markel, sent a punt that bounced over Calvary’s back line. Brown immediately followed and was once again 1v1 against Calvary’s goalkeeper. She confidentially took a quick touch around when she came off her line, and hit a low, well-place shot with her left foot to earn her second goal of the match to continue Dock’s lead, now 4-0. Just three minutes later, Ava Stokes received a ball from right wing, Cora Gillespie, and opened perfectly to switch the field. Stokes found the diagonal through ball to Brown making the run down the middle of the field. Brown slotted the ball to the low, left corner to earn her hat-trick, and final goal of the game. Dock held the 5-0 lead until the end of regulation to secure a spot in the District Finals against Faith Christian Academy next Tuesday.
