Meea Irwin scored a hat trick in the first half of Warren’s 4-0 win over Erie High on Wednesday at War Memorial Field.
Twin sister Leyna Irwin provided the assists for two of the goals, one of them from a long throw-in. Warren’s Lani Wenzel also provided an assist with a clever lob over the defense.
Leyna Irwin scored the 4-0 in the second half with a clear cross pass from Lilly Stanley.
“We played solid football tonight,” said Warren coach Mark Ordiway, whose Dragons have an overall record of 1-2. “I would say we had 80% possession. Our midfield with Leyna, Lilly and Lani really controlled the game for us. Our defense plays with a lot more confidence and composure on the ball, which is great to see.”
