Webb sets record

Freshman Sutton Webb scored a program-record six goals for Salisbury’s undefeated girls soccer team (7-0, 5-0) on Monday.

Webb’s huge night came in an 8-1 Central Carolina Conference win against Oak Grove.

“Webb was the difference,” SHS coach Matt Parrish said. “Ordinarily I have rules in place that encourage a more balanced attack and prevent a single player from getting so many opportunities. However, tonight we had a couple of girls banged up and really had a chance to improve certain facets of our game. I’ve reined Webb in, in several contests and despite that she has scored in every match so far.”

Anna Grace Woolly and Lillie Rusher also scored for the Hornets.

Assists were credited to Caroline Colwell (2), Elle Kennedy, Ellen Simons, Woolly and Rusher.

Caroline Clark recorded 10 saves in goal, with the Grizzlies’ lone score coming on a penalty kick.

“Tonight afforded us the opportunity to really work on through balls, wing play, and composed finishing against a keeper (Mia Woodruff) that I believe is the best in our conference,” Parrish said. “She had at least a dozen point-blank or break-away saves and was under heavy fire all night.”

Salisbury also got outstanding games from Clara Brown, Sage Huffman and Katherine Sullivan.

Next up for the Hornets is a CCC match vs. Ledford on Wednesday at Ludwig Stadium at 6 p.m.
