Wood’s four goals carry Bees to victory

FAIRMONT — As the lone senior on the East Fairmont girls’ soccer team, Jenna Wood has some added responsibility.

“She plays up front and is asked to do a lot,” East coach Brad Mills said.

The high-scoring forward, however, went above the call of duty Saturday afternoon at East-West Stadium, scoring each of the Bees’ goals in a 4-3 victory over visiting Waynesburg (Pa.).

Down 1-0 at the end of the first half, East (2-4-1) eventually tied things up at 2-all. It took a 4-2 lead at one point before holding on for the win. Three of Wood’s goals came on breakaways.

“She took advantage of every mistake (Waynesburg) made,” Mills said of Wood.

But this was a team effort according to Mills. He praised defenders such as freshman Abby Bunner, along with the team’s young reserves.

“The girls are working hard. I think we’re getting better everyday,” Mills said.

The Bees’ junior varsity squad won, 2-1. Hailee Moorehead scored twice, while Emily Hartley assisted on a goal.

East looks to continue the momentum Tuesday at Preston.

CHARLESTON — West Fairmont’s girls continued its defensive dominance Saturday, rolling to a 1-0 victory over Charleston Catholic at Schoembaum Field.

Meagan Cremeans netted the game’s lone score, which was assisted by Krissy Bodnovich.

Alex Mascaro added six saves in net for the Polar Bears.

West is back in action Thursday when it visits Brooke.
