Blue Tidal Waves roll along

Kirsten Maroney scorched the nets for five goals Saturday to lead the

Blue Tidal Waves to their 11th victory of the season, a 7-0 shutout of

the Red Lazers in AYSO Region 55 girls’ Under-10 Division playoff action.

Katie Bogard and Devon Shinn each scored once to complete the scoring

for the unbeaten Blue Tidal Waves, who will begin semifinal round play on

The defense was spearheaded by Megan White, who got the shutout in

“The girls played a super game,” Coach Lisa Bogard said.
