Adrian had to skate by with only a one-goal margin when they last took the pitch, which might have inspired the 12-goal drubbing they dealt Lincoln on Wednesday. The Maples' defense stepped up to hand the Railsplitters a 12-0 shutout. The final result isn't all that surprising considering Adrian's considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Michigan soccer rankings (they are ranked 35th, while Lincoln are ranked 368th).

Meanwhile, Carlson got the win against Jefferson on Wednesday by a conclusive 8-1.

The Marauders' offense was hitting the Bears from everywhere, as five different players booted in a goal. Josi Farago led that balanced group of strikers and accounted for two goals all by herself.
