PREPS: Carson records second consecutive shutout

Carson High's girls soccer team rolled to its second straight win, knocking off Reed 4-0 Tuesday night at Carson High School.

Carson improved to 2-0 in 4A play heading into Saturday's 11 a.m. contest at Damonte Ranch.

The Senators have yet to allow a goal this year.

"I'm getting confident about my defense," Carson coach Randy Roser said. "Shannon Flaherty and Alissa Hayes (both fullbacks) are starting to click. Reed had two breakaways and they took care of both of them.

"Last week we had trouble building (the offense) from the back. We did that tonight and it changed the way we looked."

Carson had four goals from four different players. Aaran Rumbaugh and Brenda Torres scored in the first half to give the Senators a 2-0 lead. Kaitlyn Holmes and Josilyn Daggs scored about a minute apart midway through the second half to complete the scoring.

In JV action, Reed grabbed a 2-0 victory over Carson.
