Girls Soccer: Warriors post lopsided win over Fergus

FERGUS FALLS — Mari Devine collected a hat trick and assisted on a fourth goal to lead the Brainerd Warriors past the Fergus Falls Otters 6-0 in their season-opening Central Lakes Conference victory Thursday, Aug. 27.

Avery LeMieur netted a pair of goals and Gabby Eckman tallied one while Taylor Larson contributed a pair of assists.

“It wasn’t the cleanest game,” said Brainerd head coach Grant Gmeinder, “but the girls came out with a good mentality and that showed in the lopsided shots on goal.”

Brainerd outshot Fergus 20-1. Grace Dickinson covered the net in the first half and didn’t see a shot. Peyton LeMieur stopped the only shot she faced in the second half.
