The Albert Lea girls’ soccer team continued its upward trend Saturday when they traveled to Mankato to take on Loyola.

The Tigers had no trouble with the Crusaders, earning a 10-1 victory and stepping one game closer to climbing back to a .500 record.

It was out of hand early in the matchup as the Tigers took a 6-0 lead before the halftime whistle. The Tigers added another four goals in the second for good measure, while only giving up one.

Senior Turena Schultz scored three goals for Albert Lea, while junior Jacy Rosas scored two. Senior Emily Bos, junior Lucy Sherman and sophomore Abby Chalmers each scored one goal and junior Maddie Schneider had a goal on a penalty kick.

Schultz and senior Sydney Nelson each totaled two assists, while Sherman, sophomore Esther Yoon and freshman Kailey Boettcher each notched one.

As a team the Tigers recorded 36 shots on goal, seven assists and seven corner kicks.

The Tigers move to 3-4 without the results from Monday’s game against Owatonna. They will be back on the field Tuesday when they host the 5-0-1 Eagles of Rochester Lourdes.
