The Centralia girls soccer team bounced back in a decisive way Thursday against Ilwaco in a non-league match, rolling to a 10-0 win at home.
“It was a good game to come back and boost our team morale,” first-year coach Luis Magana Reyna said.
Going up against an overmatched 2B side, Magana Reyna suited up 30 girls, playing his varsity players for the first half before bringing in swing players and the JV team for the latter 40 minutes.
“It was a good experience for some of the younger girls to play under the lights for the first time,” he said.
Thirteen Tigers found their way onto the scoresheet, with Izabella Hernandez as the only player to score more than one goal. Alia Gomez, Trinity Smith, Olivia Gruginski, Evan Reinetz and Jaslin Corona all joined in on the scoring in the first half to make it 7-0 at the break. In the second half, Jocelyn Navarro, Ana Blankenship and Taylor Herman added goals.
The Tigers (9-5, 6-4 2A EvCo) will take on Black Hills on Tuesday, before wrapping up the regular season with a crucial match against Aberdeen.
