Freshman Kate Hausladen scored five goals for Oak Ridge in a 7-0 win over Halls at home on Thursday. It wasn’t immediately clear if that was a record for a freshman in one game, or for any player in one game.

“I like to score,” said Hausladen, a left forward, as the Lady Wildcats improved to 2-0.

Hausladen said she scored early, within the first four minutes, and that gave Oak Ridge a boost. On Thursday, she was scoring from the back post on crossing passes, kicking the ball into the left side of the net.

“She’s sitting at the right spot and cleaning them up,” Oak Ridge Coach Jeff Trombly said. [Read more…]

Bates, a freshman wing, and Caelyn Thompson, a junior post, each had seven.
