Baylor and GPS both posted wins Friday to advance to the D-II AA girls soccer state semifinals next week at GPS.
Baylor 5, Brentwood Academy 0
Early Friday evening Baylor girls soccer coach Jimmy Weekley said that his players had not scored a goal in practice all week.
Baylor seniors Hagan Harman and Gracey Prater made sure that that scenario did not continue against visiting Brentwood Academy as they combined for three goals (Harman 2, Prater 1) in a 5-0 Red Raider win in a D-II AA state soccer quarterfinal match Friday.
Junior Maggie Crumbliss and sophomore Rachel Payne also scored goals, while assists went to Prater (2), Harman, Brittany Reid and Marci Carter.
"I am pleased with our play today after a sub-par week of practice," said coach Weekley. "We made good passes and made the goals when we created the chances to score."
Prater opened the scoring with her goal in the third minute, followed by Harman's first goal in the ninth minute for the 2-0 halftime lead.
Harman (49th minute), Crumbliss (50th) and Payne (71st) all scored in the second half.
