SIDNEY — Sidney’s girls soccer team scored four goals in the second half to put Piqua away and claim a 6-0 win in a Greater Western Ohio Conference American North Division match on Wednesday.
The Yellow Jackets opened the scoring on a goal from Elaine Wisenmayer at the 33:39 mark of the first half. Nine minutes later, a corner kick by Khia McMillen was finished by Macie Ivery to make it 2-0.
With 31:35 to go in the second half, Baily Sherman followed a deflected shot from McMillen to make it 3-0. McMillen scored less than a minute later off an assist from Wisenmayer to make it 4-0, and McMillan and Wisenmayer both added goals in the final 10 minutes.
McMillan and Wisenmayer both finished with two goals and one assist, while Sherman had one goal and two assists. Goalie Carly Dean also had one assist to go with five saves, while Kayli Smith also had an assist.
Wisenmayer’s last goal brought her season total to 24, which ties the school record for most goals in a season. She’ll have a chance to add more on Saturday night when Sidney (8-2-2, 5-1-1 GWOC North) travels to Miamisburg (4-7).
With the win, the schools are tied 4-4 in the Piqua/Sidney All-Sports Trophy competition. The last fall sports matchup between the two schools is Friday’s football game at Alexander Stadium.
Piqua dropped to 6-6 overall with the loss and 4-4 in the North. Sidney is in third place in the league, behind first-place Tippecanoe (7-0-1) and second-place Troy (7-1-0). Vandalia-Butler (5-2-1) is fourth behind the Yellow Jackets. Sidney travels to Butler next Tuesday.
