Morton 4, Pekin 0

PEKIN -
For one half, the Pekin girls soccer team played defending conference champ Morton even 0-0. But the second half was a different story as the Potters scored four goals in route to a 4-0 win at Coal Miner's Park.

Holly Bennett scored five minutes into the second half to get the Potters on the board. Pekin's best chance came on a corner kick just a few minutes later. Lady Dragons' freshman forward Sarah Zuercher's corner kick bent in and hit the crossbar.

"We had some defensive breakdowns and I think some of our girls were intimidated by their physical play," said Pekin coach Edgar Sandoval. Bennett had two goals for the Potters (1-1, 1-0)

The Lady Dragons (2-2, 1-1) will try to climb back over .500 when they travel to Moline on Saturday.
