Behind a trifecta of players with two goals, the Tigers found the back of the net early and often in blowing past the Cardinals 10-0 on Monday night in a C2BL contest.
Briley Fay had two goals and two assists, the lone Napavine (5-2, 2-0 C2BL) with multiple tallies in both. Since starting the year 0-2, it has won five straight and goalie Taylen Evander has posted four clean sheets.
“They’re all happy about the win,” Tigers first-year head coach Jon Bates said. “Little by little, they’re getting there.”
Jenna Gallagher started off the scoring in the 16th minute for Napavine, who tallied 16 shots on frame. Three of its five first half goals came in an eight-minute stretch; four goals in the second half were separated by 12 minutes. Hayden Kaut scored twice as did Gallagher.
Winlock (3-1, 1-1) finished with just three shots on goal, but keepers Theresa Mills and Cara Steik combined for seven saves.
The Cardinals face county rival Toledo at home while the Tigers host Ilwaco, both matches on Wednesday night.
