SOCCER
The Hodag girls soccer team hosted their first home conference game of the season Thursday night against Antigo. Junior Ava Lamers opened the scoring four minutes into the game for the first of her five goals on the night.

The Hodags would score seven times in the first half for a commanding 7-0 lead. The coaching staff took advantage of the lead and played all the reserves at times in the second half. Lamers would score her fifth goal in the second with about four minutes having been played and Sophie Miljevich would finish the scoring with 9:32 left in the contest.

Antigo did not have a single shot on goal for the entire game giving keeper Mya Krouze no saves for the game.
