Pippa Passes, KY: On October 25th, the Alice Lloyd Eagles hosted the Crown College Crusaders in soccer action. The Pippa Passes posse was impressive on both ends, and they set a school record in goals by earning a 15-1 victory.

The Eagles were ready from the start and quickly scored the opening goal at the 10:18 mark when Corbyn Jenkins took a pass from Dylan Moore and lined it into the net (1-0). Just three minutes later, Moore would dent the scoreboard off an assist from Isaiah Collins (2-0).

At 15:57, Moore assisted once again to Isaiah Zuidema for the third score (3-0).

Over the next six minutes, Riley Smith would score-back-to back to goals for a 5-0 lead. The second was assisted by Collins.

Then, at 24:30 and 33:53, Moore would strike pay dirt yet again, with the first goal assisted by Jestin Barker (7-0).

 Barker scored himself, off a feed from Smith at 37:45 (8-0), before Moore closed out the half with his fourth score, courtesy of Smith, just ten seconds before intermission (9-0).

In the second half, the Eagles immediately struck gold at 49:17 when Smith drove an Anthony Manzoni pass home (10-0). Zuidema then scored again at 54:30 (11-0), followed thirty seconds later by Moore's fifth goal (12-0).

Coach Lander would then utilize his bench over the final thirty minutes as everyone contributed. At 63:01, Barker scored on yet another Collins assist (13-0), followed by a solo score from Miguel Flores at 69:10 (14-0).

Crown finally registered their first goal at 75:05 (14-1), only to watch ALC answer one last time, at 78:58, with a Corbyn Jenkins kick (15-1).

On the day, the Eagles were the aggressors, firing 50 shots on goal compared to the Crusaders' 15. Crown led in corner kicks (8-7), and fouls, 5-3.

On offense, Moore led the way with 5 goals, while Smith added 3. Barker, Jenkins, and Zuidema each had 2. Collins led the squad with 3 assists, while Smith and Moore both contributed 2 to the cause.
