OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – Entering Wednesday evening's match with Hesston, the Johnson County women's soccer team had outscored the Larks 58-to-1 in the previous five meetings. That total increased to 67-to-1 after the Cavaliers blasted Hesston 9-0 at the JCCC Soccer Complex. Their nine goals are the most since a 9-0 win over Garden City on May 1, 2021. 

The 10^th-ranked Cavaliers scored early and often highlighted by a hat trick by freshman forward Karsen Koehler (Lake Ridge/Masfield, Texas), the 111^th all-time in team history. Koehler started the scoring in the 10^th minute and made it 2-nil five minutes later. She completed the hat trick in the 40^th minute to put JCCC up 5-0 at the half.  Koehler also provided an assist on the fourth goal.
