The Wellsboro Varsity Boys Soccer team cruised to their fourth straight victory in a 14-0 shutout of Sayre on Wednesday, September 30.

“We were not as crisp in the opening 20 minutes, but the boys settled into the match, found their rhythm, and did a good job finishing their scoring opportunities," coach Todd Fitch said.

The brother duo of senior Will Poirier and sophomore Jack Poirier accounted for 9 of the Hornets' goals on the night. Will scored a game-high 5 goals while Jack scored 4. Junior Owen Richardson added a pair of goals, senior Joseph Grab scored a pair of goals, and senior Kaeden Mann added a goal.

The Hornets took 35 shots on the night while holding the Redskins to just one attempt, which was saved by senior Ethan Ryan.

Wellsboro also had a 9-0 advantage in corner kicks.

The win improves the Hornets' record to 4-0 (4-0 NTL). The team will be back in action on Saturday, October 3 when they host Williamson.
