Kingco 4A Girls Soccer
Eastlake 7 Garfield 0
The Eastlake Eagles and Garfield Bulldogs met in what turned out to be a lopsided matchup. The Bulldogs, led by captains Sonia Giebel, Tory Sheffield, and Lily Hansen, were coming off a very close 1-0 defeat by Skyline on Tuesday. However, the Eagles were simply too talented. They jumped out to an early lead spearheaded by two goals apiece from Allie Beahan and Lindsay Elston, and never looked back, winning the game 7-0. -Frank Pavia
