Valley Sports Report
SAYRE "” For the first 40 minutes, Sayre was in control, but the final 40 minutes was all Sullivan County.

The Lady Griffins scored four goals after the intermission, including three by Bethany Beinlich, to rally for a 5-2 win over the Lady Redskins here Monday evening in non-league girls soccer action at the Lockhart Street Bowl.

"We were up 2-1 at half and it was another game where we just couldn't close the door," said Sayre coach Tracy Mennig.

"It was a pretty physical game and I am proud of the girls for how they handled it," noted Mennig.

"I am seeing some good improvements with every game," she added.

Freshman Kendra Merrill scored 5 1/2 minutes into the game, off an assist from freshman Caprice Haney, to give the Lady Redskins a quick 1-0 lead.

Just 37 seconds later, Beinlich scored the first of her four goals to tie the game at 1-1.

In the 14th minute, Merrill converted a penalty kick to give Sayre a 2-1 lead.

The Lady Redskins held Sullivan County off the board for nearly 30 minutes, but Beinlich scored to tie the game a little more than three minutes into the second half.

About three minutes later, Beinlich completed her hat trick to give the Lady Griffins a 3-2 lead.

Sophie Springman scored in the 57th minute to make it 4-2, and Beinlich provided the final margin about 3 1/2 minutes later.

Sullivan County had a 19-4 advantage in shots-on-goal, while Sayre had a 4-3 edge in corner kicks.
