The Hastings girls and boys soccer squads took on Burnsville in a non-conference doubleheader Tuesday evening as heard live on KDWA, the girls winning 11-0 and the boys falling 4-2.
The girls jumped out in front early and never looked back, with Sienna Sanchez dominating with two goals not even seven minutes in to take a 2-0 lead, followed by a Claire Montgomery goal, and Sanchez found another in the first 14 minutes as the Raiders led 4-0. Verona Hemsted scored to build a 5-0 lead, then after an extended break Sanchez came back into the game to score twice more as the Raiders led 7-0 at the break. Sitting the starters in the second half didn’t slow down the momentum, as Claire Montgomery scored again, with Summer Dierson, Miriam Garofolo, and Amaya Butler all found the back of the net to get to the final tally.
The Raiders boys got a goal early from Caden Pollox to lead 1-0 with 22 minutes left in the first half, and that lead held until 16 minutes to go when Burnsville scored twice in less than three minutes to lead 2-1 going into the break. Burnsville added to the lead twice in the second half to lead 4-1, and multiple chances for the Raiders only amounted to one goal from Parker Geib.
The girls are now 2-2, the boys are 0-4, and both teams will take on Tartan Tomorrow.
