Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Belleville East). Their defense stepped up to hand the Highland Bulldogs a 6-0 shutout on Monday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Belleville East's offense was hitting Highland from everywhere, as five different players booted in a goal. Izzy Brunaugh led that balanced group of strikers and accounted for two goals all by herself.
Belleville East pushed their record up to 8-8-1 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only given up one goal over those four contests. As for Highland, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost five of their last six matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 10-8-1 record this season.
Belleville East will venture away from home to challenge O'Fallon at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. As for Highland, they will host Jersey at 5:45 p.m. on Tuesday. Highland will be up against Jersey's rather soft defense (which has allowed 4.76 goals per game), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
