Leonhard’s five goals lead Wasps

Mabel Leonhard had a big week for the Wasps.

Despite five goals on the day putting her atop the leaderboards, she could only lead her team to a split.

Leonhard’s five goals surpassed Kenna Penrod for the highest in the Pennville Soccer Club Stinger division and led the A Place to Grow Wasps to a 6-0 win over the AgBest Express Bees, but couldn’t overcome the Patriot Sportswear Hornets for a 3-1 loss.

Leonhard scored four goals in the 6-0 victory over the Bees. She also got two goals of support from Harper Love.

Leonhard found the net for the 11th time of the season against the Hornets, but two goals from Grant Cosner and another by Ian Kaehr overtook Leonhard’s efforts.

The Hornets took down the Bees earlier in the day by a score of 3-0. Cosner had two goals and Kaehr had one in that game as well.
