The Adairsville Lady Tigers put on a commanding offensive display Thursday night at home, overwhelming the LaFayette Lady Ramblers with a convincing 7-1 victory in Region 7-AAA action.

Leading the charge was senior forward Alexa Damer, who delivered an electrifying performance with five goals to lead the Tigers' attack.

The scoring started early as Damer struck in the 3rd minute, finishing off an assist from Braylynn Martin to give Adairsville a quick 1-0 lead. Damer added her second in the 16th minute on a well-placed direct kick. Addi Jerauld joined the party in the 31st minute with her own direct-kick goal, and Damer completed her first-half hat trick in the 40th minute off an assist from Ella Edwards.

The Lady Tigers carried a 4-0 advantage into halftime.

LaFayette managed to break through in the 54th minute, scoring to make it 4-1. The goal marked the first time this season that a region opponent has found the back of the net against Adairsville's defense.

The Tigers responded with authority in the second half. Damer notched her fourth goal in the 64th minute on an assist from Alivia Joslin, then completed her five-goal night in the 73rd minute with help from Ryleigh Parker. Just moments later, Ella Edwards capped the scoring in the 73rd minute off an assist from Leyla Gomez-Perez.

Adairsville head coach Dave Sexauer praised his star performer afterward.

“Alexa Damer was electric tonight with her five goals,” Sexauer said. “They had no answer for her speed and power. Bethany Kilgore had some nice saves in goal, and our defensive backs played well.”

The Lady Tigers also honored their six seniors during the evening.

With the win, Adairsville improves to 8-1 overall and a perfect 3-0 in Region 7-AAA. LaFayette falls to 5-5 overall and 1-2 in the region.

The Lady Tigers return to action next Tuesday when they host Gilmer.
