The Fergus Falls girls’ soccer team continues to play well.  On Tuesday night at the Otter Stadium Field the Otters scored six unanswered goals in a 6-0 shutout victory over St. Cloud Apollo.

Fergus Falls scored all five of their goals in the first half as they shutout Hillcrest Lutheran Academy 5-0 on Thursday night at the Otter Stadium Field in Fergus Falls.  “Tonight was our opportunity to honor our seniors as they played their last regular season home game,” said Head Coach Ben Jurgens.  “These girls have been a part of Otter soccer for years and have impacted our program in such positive ways.”
 

Yana Prischmann scored the first Otter goal in the eighth minute of the opening half, assisted by Hope Goepferd.  Less than thirty seconds later Tyra Skjeret scored on a rebound of a Piper Andrews shot to give the Otters a 2-0 lead.  Goepferd then scored on a header off a corner kick by Skjeret with 17:27 to go in the half.  Andrews scored the final two goal four minutes apart, the first converting a through ball from Skjeret and the second was unassisted.

“We got off to a nice start, finding the back of the net early which gave us momentum,” said Coach Jurgens.  “It also allowed for us to get everyone in the game.  This was one of our better games in relation to moving the ball, talking off the ball, and really winning the 50/50 battles.  The girls are coming together right now and we sure are having a lot of fun these last two games.  Ry Krein recorded her first career shutout!  Now we need to focus on the playoffs!”
