TC West soccer opens up with win

FROM STAFF REPORTS

LUDINGTON — Traverse City West had to travel south to find a green patch of grass to play on, but it was well worth it.

The Titans opened the girls soccer season with a 4-0 victory at Ludington.

Goals were scored by Kara Birch, Grace Guba, Marissa Wood-Sternburgh and Karina Chouinard.

Senior forward/defender Erica Olson, playing in her first game in over a year after missing last season due to surgery, had an assist for West, which opens the Big North Conference slate Tuesday at home against Alpena. Defender Kathryn Ward also had an assist.

Emmy Entz made seven saves for the shutout in net.

The Titans also won the junior varsity contest 4-0 against Ludington, scoring all of their goals in the first half.

Maddisen Coil scored a hat trick and Chelsea White had a goal and an assist. Sydney Johnson added two assists.

Alyse Tucker and Taylor Reed split time in net, sharing the shutout.

BASEBALL

TC Central 18 0
Corunna 13 3

Kevin Krantz had a two-run homer and a grand slam to lead TC Central to an 18-13 victory over Corunna.

Casey Lundy, Ian Prokes, Derek Diekman (double) and Jordan Hall (double) each added two hits for the Trojans (1-3). Zac Zoellner was the winning pitcher with Krantz picking up the save.

Corunna won the nightcap 3-0 in a game called after five innings due to darkness. Hall took the loss, despite allowing just four hits.

The Trojans are scheduled to play at Petoskey on Tuesday, weather permitting.
