LONDON — Mikaela Barnett scored four goals while MaKayla Mastin added three goals to lead North Laurel to an easy, 12-0, win over Harlan County during Saturday’s semifinal action of the 13th Region Girls Soccer Tournament. 

Mea Anderson, and Lauren Crouch added two goals apiece while Haley Combs found the back of the net once during the Lady Jaguars’ (11-4-1) fifth shut out the season. 

“It was a great game for our Lady Jags today,” North Laurel coach Courtney Miller said. “I’m really happy to see the way our team has come together for tournament time. Our seniors have stepped up whether it’s on the field, mentoring our younger girls or getting us hype in pregame. 

“Today’s game was a great opportunity for every player to see some playing time and for us try out some players in different positions,” she added. “The girls are finally understanding, a versatile player is a valuable player. Hats off to Harlan County and their team, they had great ball movement and kept us on our toes. I’m excited for this team to play in the Region Championship on Monday they’ve worked hard for this. Go Jags.”

North Laurel will be back in action Monday at 8 p.m. in the finals of the 13th Region Girls’ Tournament.
