Leesburg used three goals from right forward Becky Beard to help show
how far it has progressed this season in capturing a 4-1 victory over
Gainesville Eastside on Thursday night in a girls soccer game at Hubert
O. Dabney Stadium.
Leesburg (8-4-3) lost to Eastside (7-5-4), 1-0,
in its second game of the season but, since then, Leesburg has moved
Cat Lockett from midfield to striker and the result is a better
offensive attack
Lockett scored Leesburg's other goal.
''We have played together
since eighth-grade, so we know what kinds of moves and runs each other
is going to make,'' Beard said about Lockett's move to the front line.
''We have been working well together.''
Leesburg won for the third time in as many games.
Freshman goalkeeper Kelly O'Brien, just brought up to varsity this week, barely missed her third consecutive shutout.
Eastside's
Karah Smith ended that opportunity when she received a pass from
Janelle Delphino in the middle of the penalty area and put a shot over
O'Brien's outstretched hands 7:47 into the second half.

Beard's goals give her 22 for the season. Since moving Lockett to the front line, Leesburg has outscored its opponents, 22-1.

''I
think we are starting to play a little better,'' Leesburg coach Ken
Fedak said. ''The difference is that we have gotten a little more
experience working together.
''I think what they (the Rams) were
doing tonight is they were going with a 3-4-3, trying to control the
midfield and that gave Becky and our other forwards a lot of room.''
