Whatley scores five goals as SM destroys Andrews

The Lady Mustangs improved to 3-0 with their third straight shutout.

Katie Loughlin scored twice while Kaitlin Ritchie contributed three assists to go with a goal.

"We came out a little sluggish," Coach Chris Griffin said. "We weren't focused, and our passes weren't crisp. We played much better soccer in the second half, and everybody off the bench got to play."

SM dominated with 44 shots to two for the Lady Wildcats. Melissa Queen made 16 saves for Andrews. Lindsey Lewis had one for the Lady Mustangs.

Melissa Collins opened the scoring six minutes into the contest with an assist from Ritchie.

Two minutes later, Whatley scored off an assist from Keely Moll. Whatley had an unassisted goal at the 12-minute mark and made it 4-0 midway through the first half with an assist from Lindsey Bumgarner.

The halftime score was 5-0 after Loughlin's goal at the 23-minute mark.

Three goals in a five-minute span extended the margin to 8-0. Ritchie scored off of Collins' assist at the 52-minute mark. Just two minutes later, Sarah Kehrberg connected with Whatley providing the assist. Lewis, who played in the field in the second half, scored off an assist from Ritchie at the 57-minute mark.

Loughlin's second goal put SM up 9-0 at the 63-minute mark with Ritchie providing the assist.

The final two goals were by Whatley with Kehrberg having the assists. They came at the 72- and 78-minute marks.

Griffin said he was concerned by two missed penalty kicks.

Monday's home game with Madison was postponed. It was reset for 6 p.m. April 12.
