DETROIT LAKES - The Laker girls soccer team is riding a two-game winning streak after wins at Watertown-Mayer 3-2 behind Kyley Foster’s first career hat trick and a 9-0 walloping of West Ottertail United Thursday at Rotary Fields. Foster scored in the 11th minute with a tap-in right in front of the goal in a game Friday before the holiday to put DL up on Watertown-Mayer 1-0. DL found early success in a new offensive formation, but it did not last. The Royals answered minutes later and took a 2-1 lead late in the first half. “We tried a new formation and that was a mistake,” Head Coach David Carter said. “Coaches make mistakes, players make mistakes; we played with it for the first half.” Detroit Lakes was dealt a blow for the game and the season when starting keeper Jordan Lundberg was taken down and rolled breaking her collarbone. Lundberg had been playing with an injury coming into the contest. “Soccer is a physical game,” Carter said. Lundberg was injured in warm-ups three games ago and the keeper duties have fallen to eighth-grader Payton Carlblom, who made the most of her opportunity in charge of the Laker defense. The Lakers returned to their normal formation leading to Foster’s two second half goals for the 3-2 victory. She scored one on an impossible angle off a free kick by Addie Kay Johnson. “She's (Foster) very fast, as is Anna Payne up front. Kylie just needs to get the accuracy, so she isn't putting it where the goalkeeper is. They have a tendency to make the keeper look good. They’re under pressure.” Carlblom starred with Foster as the Royals threw everything at the Lakers in the second half trying to tie the score. Watertown-Mayer outshot the Lakers 24-11 forcing Carlblom to make 21 saves, some of the amazing variety. “In the last 10 minutes, they threw everything at us and had everyone up there.” Carter noted the stellar play of the defense: Carlblom, Johnson, Jordyn Peterson and Annie Mettert. “The hero has to be Payton,” Carter said. “There were balls shot across there off the tips of her fingers and the crossbar. I was truly impressed; she came of age in that game.”
Bemidji 2, DL 1 Carlblom got a taste of varsity action in a 2-1 loss before the holiday on Thursday in a 2-1 loss to Bemidji as Lundberg was cleared by doctors to play the field but not in goal. “I know she is a good goalkeeper, but was worried about varsity level being much more physical than she is used to.” Bemidji pounced early going up on 1-0 on a shot in the first minute that got away from Carlblom after making the initial save allowing Rachael Holm to score on an assist by Maea Wall. “In the first half they were all over us and controlled the game; totally outplayed us” Wall took a feed from Holm in the 38th minute for a 2-0 lead. The second half was a much different story as the Lakers put up more shots the the Jacks and Addie Kay Johnson got the Lakers on the board with a penalty kick after Foster was taken down in the 50th minute to cut the Bemidji lead in half. Lindsey Heinecke had a really nice shot on goal past the keeper late in the game seeking to tie the score. Her shot hit the side of post and bounced out. The shot was ruled not a goal. “It was a very, very close game. Payton did a wonderful job for us.” [[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"1070752","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"480","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"426"}}]] Lakers 9, Storm 0 Thursday, the Lakers were all over the West Ottertail United Storm net in a 9-0 blowout at home. Carlblom had a quiet night in net earning her second victory without facing a shot on goal. “She hardly saw the ball.” The Laker offense put 25 shots on the net and took a 4-0 lead by halftime on goals by Foster, Jade Olson, Halle Jordan and Lauren Tschider. Foster recorded her second hat trick. “We really weren’t playing very well in the first half. In the second half our passing was looking better.” Tschider started off the second half scoring on an assist by Olson. Foster scored her second of the game unassisted and again on a Heinecke assist. Heinecke assisted on DL’s eighth goal of the game by Mikayla Avila. Lizzie Johnson rounded out the scoresheet on an assist by Jordan for the 9-0 final.
