The DeKalb High School soccer team pieced together back-to-back wins, scoring victories at Cannon County and at home against White County as they prepared to play host to the formidable Smith County squad Tuesday night.
The winning streak came after mixed results against top notched competition in the Smoky Mountain Cup where they lost two and tied one. Helping jump start the Lady Tigers was a convincing win at Cannon County as they tamed the Lady Lions 6-0. The scoring got underway early as Anna Rachel Blair, off an assist by Robin Pafford, put the ball in the back of the net just two minutes into the game. The scoring parade continued two minutes later when Sophie Hackett scored at the four minute mark.
The Lady Lions were back on their heels as the Lady Tigers pushed down the pitch, taking a three goal lead at the 10-minute mark when Abbey Parchman scored an unassisted goal. It took eight more minutes for Sophie Hackett to score her second goal of the night off a Taylor Foutch assist to break the game wide open. Anna Rachel Blair then had her second goal of the night off of a Sophie Hackett assist at the 30-minute mark.
Sarah Starnes scored the lone goal of the second half at the 62-minute mark to complete the rout at 6-0 in Woodbury. Meanwhile Lady Tiger goalie Ariel Patterson was a stone wall, making 10 saves in the DeKalb shut out.
The Lady Tigers followed up their win over the Lady Lions with a 2-1 victory at home Thursday night over White County. The win sets them at 3-3-1 overall and 1-0 in their district given their season opening win 8-0 over Upperman.
They were set to play host to Smith County Tuesday night, the squad having just one loss on the year.
