Horn scores three
Jay County roundup
MUNCIE — Quick starts to both halves and a career game from LeAnn Horn got the Patriots back in the win column after back-to-back losses.
Horn recorded her first hat trick for the Jay County High School girls soccer team, which scored within the first three minutes of each half on the way to a 3-2 victory Tuesday over the host Delta Eagles.
The last of Horn’s three goals came with just under 26 minutes left in the game when she took a pass from fellow senior Tiffany Huelskamp and chipped the ball over the head of goalie Kaitlin Clawson. Her team-leading ninth goal of the season, which is just one fewer than the entire team scored a year ago, gave the Patriots a 3-1 lead on the way to the win.
Horn tallied the game’s first goal with less than two minutes off the clock, and scored again off an assist from Kassi Hemmelgarn less than three minutes into the second half.
Mollie May recorded five saves for JCHS, 7-5, which had dropped games to Bellmont Thursday and Centerville Saturday for its first consecutive losses of the year.
The junior varsity game ended in a scoreless tie with Brooke Reynard coming up with two saves for the Patriots.
