MAPLE CITY — The Leland Comets girls soccer team has been road warriors.
The Comets (3-0, 3-0 Northwest) racked up their third straight road win to start the season with a 5-0 victory over Glen Lake (0-1, 0-1 Northwest) on Monday. Three of Leland’s five goals came in the second half. The shutout victory marks the second straight season the Comets have started 3-0 on the road.
Addi Waskiewicz started things on Monday, followed by a penalty kick from Emerie Burda to put Leland ahead 2-0 in the first half. Olivia Ryder tacked in a goal with an assist from Hadley Bison, and Willa Murray scored two to put the Comets ahead 5-0 with assists from Waskiewicz and Mallory Lowe.
A win for the Comets on Friday in their home opener against Grand Rapids West Catholic would be their best start since 2015. The Lakers travel to Buckley on Wednesday.
