    The Lodi girls’ soccer team got back on track in a big way, winning 9-1 over Wausau East on Thursday, April 18, and 8-0 at Wautoma/Wild Rose the next night.

    Madeline Deleon had a hat trick for the Blue Devils against Wausau East, while Anna Balfanz finished with a goal and three assists and Anna Stratton collected a goal and two helpers.

    Gracie Clary totaled two goals, and Gianna Burke had a goal and an assist, as Lodi took a 4-0 lead in the game’s first 32 minutes. Leah Traeder contributed an assist and Gabby Guethlein had a goal for Lodi, now 4-2 overall and 1-0 in Capitol Conference play.

    The offensive surge continued against Wautoma/Wild Rose, as eight different Blue Devils tallied goals in the blowout. Burke paced Lodi with two goals, while Balfanz, Ava Ballweg, Traeder, Mitzari Alvarez-Ortega, Ella Johnson and Guethlein also scored goals. Traeder and Stratton each had two assists.

    Lilly Bartholomew had one save in net for Lodi.

    Lakeside Lutheran 2, Lodi 0Reagan Jobke and Kylie Lundgren each scored first-half goals for Lakeside Lutheran’s soccer team in a 2-0 win over Capitol Conference foe Lodi on Tuesday at LLHS in Lake Mills.

    Jobke, a freshman, scored unassisted in the ninth minute. Sophomore Kylie Lundgren doubled Lakeside’s lead when she scored off senior Megan Huber’s assist in the 21st minute.

    Senior Maria Vik stopped eight shots in her clean sheet for the Warriors (3-1-1, 1-1-1 in conference).

    “From the kickoff, we set the tone against a strong Lodi squad,” Lakeside girls soccer coach Hannah Uher said. “Tough conference matchups are often won in the midfield, and we saw especially dominant play from freshman midfielder Abigail Wood.

    “We had a great practice on Monday, and the girls applied it directly to this game — creating chances and finishing in the back of the net. Both Jobke and Lundgren placed excellent shots to give us the advantage tonight.”

    Lakeside plays at Stoughton on Thursday.
