The Somerset Lady Jumpers faced the unenviable task of taking down top-10 ranked West Jessamine in the first round of the 12th Region Tournament on Monday. Despite some initial solid defense by the Jumpers, Somerset would ultimately be eliminated from the tournament courtesy of an 8-0 mercy rule loss.
Sophomore goalkeeper Luci Haught was very active in the back of the net, totaling 15 saves in the contest. However, that simply wasn't enough on this night. The Colts had a double hat trick in the game, with both Kylie Marcum and Halle Davis scoring three goals apiece, while Carol Sallee and Sloane Plummer each scored once. Marcum ended up scoring the game's final goal early in the second half to end the contest early.
Somerset concludes their season with a record of 5-14-1, but the Jumpers fought hard the entire game and for a young team, this may just be the beginning of their story. Best of luck to seniors Ayveh Tungate, Amy Rodriguez, Jami Rogers, Storey Justice, Natalia Arnold and Emery Reams on all of their future endeavors.
