Five goals in the first half, including two from senior Addi Chandler, lifted the Seymour girls soccer team to a 5-0 victory over Salem Monday afternoon, raising the Owls’ season record to 2-0.

"Girls started fast, with all five goals early in the first half," said coach Greg Musser.

The overwhelming start in the road game allowed Musser to provide ample playing time to numerous players.

"We were able to get 25 different girls some varsity time and it was great to see how hard our younger girls played," he said.

Alyssa Perry and Lillie Wessel also chipped in goals and Seymour’s fifth goal came on an accidental own goal scored by Salem.

Perry, Kylee Nowling, Haley Westfall and Brooke Trinkle each added an assist to the Owl scoring and sophomore Jessica Hougland stopped three shots in net.

"Another shutout," Musser said of Seymour’s two-game start, "which speaks to our organization defensively."

Musser said Seymour’s next game, Saturday morning at Columbus North, should be "another great early test for our team."
