PASCAGOULA --?The dominant run by the Pascagoula girls soccer team continued on Tuesday night, as the Panthers drilled Brookhaven 8-0 in a Class 5A first-round playoff game at War Memorial Stadium.
The victory was the fifth straight by Pascagoula and 11th in 12 games by shutout. Kimberly Armstrong, Morgan Blalock and Natalie Lechner all scored three goals for the Panthers, who host West Jones on Saturday.
"We've been working on a lot of things, mainly defense, and the first thing I'm proud of is them not scoring a goal," first-year Pascagoula coach Travis Dickey said. "That's been an emphasis all year long. Once we did that, we had to fix scoring, and we did a really good job of that tonight."
Armstrong and Blalock both scored early to give Pascagoula (17-3) a 2-0 lead at the half. The twosome also scored early in the second half as the Panthers took control, and Lechner scored twice in a three-minute span to give Pascagoula a 6-0 lead.
The Panthers' last two goals came from Kayla Stennis and Courtney Lechner in the final 10 minutes. Armstrong now has 16 goals this season.
"I can't complain about the result," Dickey said. "We've got a tough game coming up on Saturday. But I think we're prepared for it at this point."
West Jones beat Bay 4-0 on Tuesday. The Mustangs eliminated Pascagoula in the first round of last year's playoffs.
Brookhaven ends its season at 8-8-1.
