By Dylan Butler
The Bayside girls’ soccer team was hoping its 1-1 tie with first place Townsend Harris in their last meeting would not only erase an earlier 4-0 loss to the Hawks, but also give the team confidence going into Friday’s game.
Talya Oberfield had other ideas. The Townsend Harris senior scored a hat trick to lead the Hawks to a 5-0 win over the Commodores.
Oberfield scored two of her three goals in the first half to give Townsend Harris (10-0-1, 6-0-1 Queens I) a 2-0 halftime lead.
Sophomore midfielder Jaclyn Miccio, one of the most talented players in Queens, gave the Hawks a three-goal lead one minute into the second half and five minutes later it was Oberfield again who found the back of the net to put the Hawks ahead, 4-0.
The game’s final goal was an own goal against Bayside (7-3-1, 7-2-1).
Bayside rebounded from the tough loss with a 5-0 win over Beach Channel Monday as Carolina Wesso scored two goals.
Bryant 2, John Adams 0. Melissa Lam and Diana Botero scored for the Owls (10-1-1, 8-1 Queens II).
Cardozo 13, Franklin K. Lane 0. Patricia Sotirakis (four goals) and Kelly Kaso (three goals) led the way for the Judges (9-0, 8-0 Queens III), who have not been scored on this season.
Jamaica 2, Arts & Business 0. Blanca Chimbay scored two goals for the Beavers (6-4, 5-4 Queens III).
Newcomers 5, Van Buren 0. Laura Burlacu again led the Lions with all five goals. Newcomers improved to 11-2, 8-1 Queens III.
Newtown 4, Forest Hills 0. Alba Carresquero netted a hat trick and Jennifer Sanchez made four saves for the Pioneers (7-1, 7-0 Queens II).
Hillcrest 2, Francis Lewis 1. Kaydene Falconer netted the game winner for the Hawks (6-3, 4-3 Queens I), who also got a goal from Mellissa Richards.
