CHS girls win
RENO — Carson kept its hold on first place in the Sierra League, improving to 11-2 with a 4-1 win at Wooster. Mallory Otto scored three of the goals and Isabella Wakeling scored the other goal for CHS. Lindy Lehman had two assists and Wakeling added an assist for the Senators.
“The girls played really well,” Carson coach Greg Lehman said.
