OAKLAND — Alli Shaffer scored a goal and assisted on the other two as fifth-ranked Southern knocked off top-ranked Northern, 3-0, in high school girls soccer Tuesday night at Southern.
Tess Watson scored the only goal of the first half, off of a corner kick by Shaffer, with just under 10 minutes before the half.
The lead doubled in the opening minutes of the second half when Shaffer scored on a feed from Jill Yant. Shaffer tacked on an unassisted goal with 12:04 remaining.
“We were really clicking tonight, especially the defense, and I was really pleased with everyone’s effort,’’ said Southern head coach Sara Shaffer.
Southern led in shots 15-6. Annie Martin made four saves in goal for the Rams. Alex Diehl had seven and Kloey Werner one for the Huskies.
The Garrett County rivals split their two regular season meetings as Northern had won earlier in the year, 2-1. Because last night’s game was a non-conference game, the Huskies remained 5-0 in the Appalachian Mountain Athletic Conference.
Southern (6-3, 4-2 AMAC) hosts Keyser on Tuesday. Northern (6-2) hosts Fort Hill tonight at 6:30.
Southern won the jayvee game 3-1. Alicia Roth scored two gaols and Alicia Harpole had one for the Rams. Shannon Warnick scored for the Huskies.
Voting in the area soccer poll was completed prior to any Tuesday games.
