With the cacophony of 11 goals scored on them two nights before still resonating in their ears, the Elmira girls' soccer team came home Thursday night to the best present they could have asked for; a winless Marshfield team still looking for their first win of the season.
Showing, before unseen, ferocity, the Lady Falcons used a combination of midfield strength and a decided advantage in team speed to thump the Lady Pirates 4-1 in a injury shortened game Thursday October 4 at Swartz Field. An unidentified Marshfield player was reported to have dislocated her knee and after the delay, the game was called.

With the exception of a defensive lapse when Marshfield's Khaley Aquliar broke through on a breakaway to register Marshfield's lone score, the remainder of the game was decidedly played at the other end of the field, where Kennady Laing and Clair Head made repeated assaults on the Lady Pirate's goal. At the half, Elmira had already out shot Marshfield 15-3, unofficially. Laing scored twice from point blank range in the first half to stake the Lady Falcons to a 2-0 lead.

In the second half, goals by Eden Blunt and Kaycee Monagon put the game out of reach of Marshfield. Throughout the game, Elmira's superior strength in the middle continually propelled the Falcons ferocious attack leading to repeated sprints and open shots on the goal. Head had 4 drives on goal that were near misses. One was called an offside.
