If Patrick Henry goalkeeper, Casey Moore, needed to study for final exams, Tuesday evening would have been the perfect time.Moore was hardly interrupted the entire match as her Patriot teammates played a superbly executed game in easily taking down George Washington of Danville 7-0 in the Western Valley girls soccer semifinal at Gainer Field.
Patrick Henry constantly peppered the GW goal in the first half and jumped out to a 4-0 lead after the opening forty minutes. By the 60-minute mark the margin was six and both teams were content to liberally substitute for the rest of the match. Rarely was GW able to get a good look on goal and most of the action took place in the PH offensive zone.
Including the two regular season matches, it was the third shutout for PH over GW this season. Eagles coach Cary Wright summed up the loss without hesitation. “We were totally overmatched.”
Patrick Henry advances to the district final scheduled for Thursday night.
