Prep Soccer
Kayla Wilhelm and Karli Clark put on an offensive display for North Valley in District 6 girls soccer Tuesday.
The dynamic duo combined for five goals and two assists as the Knights routed St. Mary’s 6-0 at Spiegelberg Stadium.
Clark and Wilhelm accounted for all the scoring as North Valley (4-0 Dist. 6) took a 4-0 halftime lead.
"We didn’t show up," St. Mary’s coach Lia Kirkpatrick said. "We played well for the first 15 minutes. The rest of the game was disappointing on our part."
Clark began the scoring at the 19th minute off a breakaway pass from senior midfielder Wilhelm.
Wilhelm tallied the next two goals off assists by Emily Chirnside and Clark. Then sophomore forward Clark scored at the 39th minute on a rebound shot.
"North Valley has great one-touch passing and great finishers," said Kirkpatrick. "We gave them a lot of opportunities today."
Wilhelm got a hat trick early in the second half, and Raquel Robles completed the scoring.
"Wilhelm and Clark are really fast," North Valley coach Joseph Nichwander said. "We have our offense go through them."
