Thursday’s results

Girls Soccer

Cougars blank Austin, advance to sectional final

Flossie Cooper netted a second-half hat trick to pace Trinity Lutheran to a 6-0 win over Austin and into Saturday’s sectional final. 

The trio of goals was just the icing on the cake for an otherwise dominating performance by the Cougars. 

In addition to Cooper’s goals, Trinity was also led by a first-half brace from Kailene Cockerham and a penalty kick from Emma Goecker.

It’s the second win over the Eagles, who are in their first season of competition. Trinity won 7-0 last week to end their regular season.
