Childers Fires Off Four Goals in 6-1 Win Against Wilmington

WILMINGTON, Ohio - Starting off the week, the Capital women's soccer team traveled to Wilmington to face off against the Quakers under the lights. The Comets got revenge for last season's exit, when Wilmington knocked Capital out of the OAC tournament, dominating with a 6-1 road victory and securing their sixth straight win.

The Comets improved to 11-2-0 overall and 4-0 in OAC play, while Wilmington fell to 5-6-2.

The Comets wasted no time finding the back of the net against the Quakers, scoring four goals in just under 35 minutes of the first half. In the 14th minute, OAC Offensive Player of the Week Payton Childers scored her eighth goal of the season to give the Comets a 1-0 lead. Childers then struck twice more in quick succession.

Her second goal came off an assist from freshman Brinley Barnett just seven minutes after her first. Childers' third goal came off an assist from Elise Buckerfield in the 26th minute, giving her 10 goals on the season. Brooklyn Herbert joined the scoring action in the 35th minute, giving the Comets a comfortable 4-0 lead.

Wilmington scored its lone goal just 10 seconds after Herbert's goal, bringing the score to 4-1 heading into halftime.

The Comets didn't let up in the second half, adding two more goals to secure the 6-1 victory. In the 57th minute, Childers scored her fourth goal of the game, surpassing a hat trick. She became the first Comet to score four goals in a game since Hilary Ells accomplished the feat against Marietta on October 22, 2013. To cap off the strong offensive showing, sophomore Sarah Kelly scored her first goal of the season off an assist from Childers.

As a team, the Comets recorded an impressive 33 shots, with 13 on goal and six finding the back of the net. Senior goalkeeper Lauren Hinshaw
recorded two saves. Wilmington managed just six shots, with three on goal and one finding the back of the net.
