Those goals were unassisted.

Miami Trace had a total of 46 shots on goal to eight for Washington.

“We had a lot of opportunities down there,” Miami Trace head coach Caitlin Francis said. “We were really controlling the game down there. We just had trouble finishing tonight. That’s what we’re going to need to focus on going into the next round of league play.”

Khendai Grubb had three saves in goal for Miami Trace.

“I thought, compared to last year (against Miami Trace), we’ve definitely improved,” Washington head coach Tammi Ramsey said. “We still need to continue to communicate on the field and just understand that there is space. I’ve been telling the girls, we either create or deny space, depending on who has the ball. That’s been our goal the last week or so. We’re getting better at that.

“Any day when we improve, is a day that I’m happy,” Ramsey said. “I can definitely be happy, especially with the halftime score, which was 2-1. That was a pretty good score.”

Taylor Smith had 29 saves for Washington. Keirra Marcum also saw a bit of time in goal near the end of the match for Washington.

Miami Trace is now 2-3 in the Frontier Athletic Conference. The Lady Panthers are 2-6 overall with a match at Chillicothe at 5 p.m.

Washington, 0-4-1 in the FAC, 0-5-1 overall, is at Hillsboro Thursday at 5 p.m.
