Bloomington 6, Pekin 0

After a two game winning streak, the Pekin Girls Soccer team has now dropped three in a row following Wednesday's 6-0 non-conference loss to Bloomington at Coal Miners Park.

The Purple Raiders dominated the action, scoring all six of thier goals before intermission, two on uncontested corner kicks.

“I can understand losses. What I can’t understand is the way it’s happening, " Pekin coach Edgar Sandoval said. " We ignored all the basics… even what should have been simple passes were way off the mark. We got caught offsides three times just as we were starting to mount some offense. And we watched while they set up for shots inside the box. You just can’t do that and expect to succeed.”

Bloomington outshot Pekin 24 to 6 with Dragons’ goalkeeper Lindsay Coffey registering 14 saves.
