The Baker Hornets came tearing into Tuesday's matchup with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 4.7 goals) and they left with even more momentum. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 2-1 win over Mary G. Montgomery. Given Baker's advantage in MaxPreps' Alabama soccer rankings (they are ranked 48th, while Mary G. Montgomery is ranked 165th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Emma Burt was the driving force of Baker's attack as she scored both of Baker's goals. With that big game she's now up to seven goals this season.
Baker's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 5-1-2. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 15 goals over those three matches. Mary G. Montgomery's season is starting to look like last year's as the team currently sits at a 1-6-1 record this season.
