Prep Report: Shelbyville's Parker, Southwestern's Hartsell set new soccer records

Sophie Parker began the 2021 girls soccer season with the opportunity to break two scoring records at Shelbyville.

After Tuesday’s 12-0 victory over Beech Grove, a match in which Parker had three goals and three assists, the first record has fallen.

Parker (photo), a senior, is now the Golden Bears’ career assists leader with 32, breaking the old mark of 29 set by Amber Ross. And with her hat trick, Parker is now 20 goals away from becoming the career leader in goals scored.

Shelbyville was dynamic in its season opener, racing out to a 10-0 lead by halftime.

Ava Wilson and Evelyn Kiefer each had a pair of goals in the match’s opening minutes to put Beech Grove down 4-0.

Cyanne St. Bernard followed with the first of her two goals in the win.

Kiefer got the hat trick with her third goal to make it 6-0 ahead of Parker scoring three straight times.

Kiefer’s fourth goal came before the first half ended and Sydney Baker and St. Bernard added second-half goals to seal the 12-0 victory.
