The Bristol Eastern girls soccer team lost a tough 5-0 decision at Farmington on Friday evening, falling to 1-4-2 on the season.

The River Hawks led 2-0 at the half and later added three goals over the second forty to secure the winning effort.

Farmington outshot Eastern 33-2 overall and led with a 19-1 advantage with shots on goal.

The Lancers’ keeper combination of Abigale Pelletier and Hailey Beebe collected 14 total saves while on the flip side, the duo of Maya Koster and Julia Chenyak had one between them.

Farmington moved to 5-1-2 overall off the winning effort.

Camren Kiniry scored the first goal of the game just 15 minutes in followed by a Giana Coletti tally that propelled the home team to a 2-0 edge at the break.

Farmington’s Ketki Patange notched a goal two minutes into second half play.

Nine minutes later, Kathryn Watson and Carly Passaro tallied back-to-back goals over a three-minute stretch – leading to a 5-0 push and ended up being the final score of the match.

On Monday, Eastern takes its shot at South Windsor in a CCC interdivisional showdown.

Match time is set for 3:45 p.m.

From there, it’s time for city series play as Central and Eastern lock horns for the first time this Thursday.

The game is slated for 6:15 p.m. from Alumni Field on the campus of BEHS.
