BRISTOL – The Bristol girls soccer team finally got to the pay window last Thursday as the Lancers picked off Hartford Public by a 6-0 final from Alumni Field in Bristol.

The Kingstreeters moved to 1-3-1 with its victory while the Owls fell to 0-3.

Eastern had a good week, going 1-1-1 and made a great showing against Portland over a losing effort in the previous match.

But against Public, Eastern zipped up a 4-0 cushion by the half and never looked back.

The Lancers outshot the Owls 30-0 overall while Eastern maintained that edge with shots on goal (17-0).

Defense fueled the day as Eastern keeper Hailey Beebe wasn’t shot against, leading to a clean sheet while Public goalie Maria Padilla was under fire throughout but still managed to stop 11 shots.

“[She] played great in goal for Hartford Public,” said Eastern coach Scott Redman of Padilla.

Just two minutes into match play, the Lancers had already won the contest.

Maria Perrone stole a pass in the box and smashed it in the goal to give Eastern a quick 1-0 edge.

Eighteen minutes later, Eastern forward Megan Krok was up to her usual offensive tricks.

Maria Perrone found Krok for a nice give and go play that led to a goal and a 2-0 lead a quarter way into things.

And then with 12 minutes left before the half, Mya McCallop scored her first ever goal as the home team squared up a 3-0 push.

“Mya McCallop receives a great pass from Emma Stavens to score her first career goal,” said Redman.

And then Stavens did a little scoring of her own.

At the 34-minute mark of the match, on an Eastern corner kick, Krok found Stavens for the fourth tally of the first half as the Lancers were in complete control at 4-0.

Over a three-minute stretch midway through the second period, Katie Patterson and Alaina Joy kicked in goals to stretch the advantage out to 6-0 – the final score of the affair.

“Kate Patterson found the ball at her feet after a broken-up corner kick play and didn’t miss the opportunity,” said Redman. “And Alaina Joy received a great pass from Mya McCallop for her first career goal and Mya’s first career assist.”

It was a big win for Eastern, Redman and company and the squad hopes to make it two in a row when the Lancers square off against Platt on Tuesday at 3:45 from Alumni Field.
