Hatheway Continues Scoring Streak as Berry Continues Winning Streak

Katie O'Brien scored two goals and Kristen Brooks dished out a pair of assists as Berry defeated Bryan 4-0 in a women's soccer match at Ford Field Saturday.

The win marked the fifth in a row for Berry (5-1), and the third consecutive shutout. It was a dominant effort for the Lady Vikings, who did not allow Bryan to even attempt a shot.

The Lady Vikings fired 36 shots in the match, continuing a stretch in which it has outshot opponents 100-3 in the past three matches.

Kim Fischer scored the match's first goal in the 21st minute, accepting a pass from Joy Pianka and firing past Bryan goalkeeper Stephanie Gagnon for the score.

Less than three minutes later, Berry would extend its lead when O'Brien scored from the left side of the penalty area after Brooks sent her the ball.

O'Brien scored her second goal just over five minutes into the second half, when she dribbled toward the left side of the box and lobbed the ball over Gagnon's head.

Three minutes later, Leah Hatheway gave the Vikings a 4-0 lead when she received a pass from Brooks and flipped the ball off the side of her foot past Gagnon.

Hatheway's goal gave her at least one in each of the past five matches.  She has scored eight goals during that stretch.

The Lady Vikings have fed off of Hatheway's play, outscoring opponents 22-3 this season.

Berry is scheduled to return to action Sept. 30 at Brenau.
