The Lady Commodores wasted little time erasing the goal as Brandi Campbell dribbled through the defense and took a shot one-on-one with the goal. The shot passed through the goalie’s legs for the 2-1 lead.
Campbell collected her second goal of the game just minutes later. This time Campbell took a crossing pass from Kelsey Lowe and fired in a hard shot past the goalie.. The Lady Commodores took the 3-1 lead into the break.
Perry Central picked up an early goal in the second half. Sarah Melton dribbled through the Hazard defense and shot a ball into the box where Kelsey Lowe collected it and deposited it in the goal (4-1).
With time running out in the contest, Brandi Campbell completed her “hat-trick” with a goal. Dallas Coots picked up a ball in front of the net and pushed it back to Brandi Campbell outside the box. Campbell fired the shot from 25-yards out, and hit the back of the net.
