The Allen County Lady Red Devils came into Saturday’s matchup with  Central Community College on a mission to extend their two-game winning streak. 

The Devils came out on a warpath, getting into scoring position but couldn’t get in the net until Kansas-native Maci Beachler beat the Central goal-keeper at the 15:00 mark in the first half. A rare own goal off a  corner kick helped ACC extend their lead to 2-0 before the whistle blew a the end of the first half.

The Red Devil domination didn’t stop at the first half whistle. ACC added four more goals in the second half as Claudia Zahui opened the scoring at the 48:35 mark to send the Lady Devils up 3-0.

Just minutes later, the Evans twins took over as Mia helped Yasmin find the net, before Yasmin added an unassisted goal on a free kick  as the Shrewsbury, England-born twins sent the home team up 5-0.

Even then the Red  Devils weren’t finished scoring, as they had one more goal in them with Sarah Navidad adding the sixth and final goal of ACC’s offensive explosion just past the 82:00 mark after an assist from Alejandra Ortega.

The Red Devils are now 9-3-1 overall and 4-1-1 in conference. They are back in action Wednesday against Pratt .
