Republic jumped ahead early and never looked back on the way to a 5-1 soccer victory over Carthage.
The Lady Tigers first scored in the opening minutes when a slow, arching shot from Sara Marcotte went off the Carthage goalkeeper’s fingertips and into the net. Things went downhill from there for Carthage.
Republic built its lead to 4-1 by the end of the first half, and added a single goal after halftime to account for the final score.
Marcotte scored three goals and Sierra Casagrand added two. Republic improves to 8-5 overall.

The Lady Tigers also made about $260 for their autism fundraising effort with a bake sale.
