Brandon Gerba knew his team was in for a good performance before the game even started.
The day before, the Elizabeth Forward girls soccer team had one of their better, harder practices. And on Thursday, that practice play carried over, as the Warriors dominated Keystone Oaks in a 5-0 Section 4-2A victory at Warrior Stadium.
“We focused on all-out effort. Speed of play has been kind of off for us this year. We’ve had days when we practiced slow and we played slow, and it shows,” said Gerba, the Warriors’ coach. “So yesterday was probably one of the harder practices that they had in awhile, effort wise. And it showed tonight with more effort and more speed.”
Elizabeth Forward (4-3, 4-1) controlled play from start to finish, peppering 16 shots on net. Keystone Oaks (2-5, 2-4) finished with just four shots.
Four different girls scored for the Warriors, with Natalie Moffa getting two and Natalie Beinlich, Anna Resnik and Brianna Hartford each getting one a piece.
