Lady Cats celebrate Senior Night with region win over Hiram

The Woodland girls soccer team celebrated their 2021 Senior Night Friday with a 5-1 home victory over Region 7-AAAAA rival Hiram.

The Lady Cats honored their three seniors Tiera Feanny, Hayley Gilbert, and Sydney Molinaro.

Atlantis Walker gave Woodland an early lead with a goal in the game’s third minute as the Lady Cats built a 4-0 advantage by halftime. Samantha Nycum added a Woodland goal in the 29th minute. Reagan Weightman made it 3-0 in the 39th minute and Feanny, who also had an assist on the night, added another goal just 32 seconds later.

Hiram cut the Woodland lead to 4-1 in the 54th minute and Weightman registered her second goal of the night in the 71st minute for the Lady Cats’ 5-1 final score.

“The girls worked hard and many players got to play new positions tonight,” said Woodland head coach Nicole Heiser. “Our midfielders and defenders did a great job keeping them off our half. I’m proud of their effort to get our first region win of the year.”

The Lady Cats (4-5-1, 1-1) will host Calhoun Tuesday in another region contest.
