Morgan leads Stars (08/24/07)

BERNE - The Railroaders thought they were back in the game. Ashton Morgan had other ideas.

Morgan scored twice in a span of less than eight minutes to complete her hat trick Thursday and start a run of four consecutive South Adams goals as the Starfire girls soccer team clobbered Garrett 7-2.

South Adams (3-1) had a 2-0 lead after the first half - one of those goals came from Morgan - but Garrett pulled within one when Lindsey Yarde scored at the 31:10 mark of the second half. Morgan was more than willing to respond.

The junior pushed the Starfire lead to 3-1 just 2:10 after Yarde's goal, the tallied her third goal at the 21:32 mark. Jodie Muhlenkamp and Kinsey Lengerich each added goals before Yarde got on the board again.

Chelsey Nevil scored South Adams' other first-half goal, and Lindsey Graber had the final score in the second half. Lengerich and Moore each had two assists, and Katrina Hawkins finished with nine saves.
