FORT MADISON - Holy Trinity wrapped up its regular girls soccer season with a 9-2 win over Mid-Prairie Wellman in a sweltering game Thursday night on the road.

Senior Maya Rashid pulled a hat trick in the 92-degree weather, for the Crusaders with three goals on three shots on goal and added an assist. Junior Taylor Boeding had two goals and Elle Rashid, Taylor Crabtree, Claire Pothitakis and Katie Scoville all added goals for HTC.

Sam Pothitakis has four saves on the night and head coach Mike Sheerin said the two goals were with Pothitakis the lone defender on the run.

"Maya Rashid dominated midfield play with Elyse Pothitakis whilst Malibu Mohrfeld did some dizzying dribbles from the back and through crowds of players. Emily ( the Machine) Box made countless runs from the backline notching up three shots on goal five shots total," Sheerin said.

"She is worth the watch," he said of Box, "especially watching this girl put boys to shame with her 30-40 yard bullet train throws. Her passing game has really improved."

Sheerin said the girls continue to show class on the field even in the face of most losses against 3A schools or larger.

"Our girls are true ambassadors of the sport and exhibit superb sportsmanship on and off the pitch with their rivals. We finished season play losing only to Notre Dame, BHS and five 3A or larger schools. Not a bad season for this little rag tag team. Coach Tom Gendron and I couldn't ask for more," he said.

HTC, who's won their last four games and five of the last six, start district play Tuesday at home against Columbus at 6 p.m.
