LA CROSSE — The Aquinas High School girls soccer team erupted offensively and used its defense to stifle visiting Sparta at Fields for Kids on Thursday.
The Blugolds (8-3-2) opened up the MVC’s round-robin tournament with an 8-0 victory over the Spartans and had five players score at least one goal while their defense held the Spartans to four shots on goal.
Junior Alexa Myre scored four times, and teammates Hayden Zehren, Ruby Gauger, Anna Binsfeld and Hannah Miller once each as Aquinas cruised to a second shutout of Sparta and won its third straight game.
Junior Molly Swift had two goals, and Miller and Binsfeld added one each for the Blugolds, who put 13 of 23 total shots on goal and host Richland Center at noon on Saturday.
