Senior Lauren Bettinger scored three first half goals, two in an 18-second span, and two more in the second half to lead the Swanton Lady Bulldogs to an impressive 7-3 win over the Toledo Central Catholic Lady Irish on Monday afternoon at Thomas Krupitzer Soccer Field.

Central Catholic took a quick 1-0 lead with a goal just 1:36 into the game.  But after that goal, Bettinger took over and scored the next three goals of the contest, at the 33:32 mark, then at 18:56 and 18:38 for a Swanton 3-1 lead.  With just 17 seconds left in the half, the Irish converted a penalty shot to bring the score to 3-2 at halftime.

The Bulldogs regained the momentum early in the second half on goals by Lexie Yeager and Dixie Anderson for a comfortable 5-2 advantage.  Bettinger finished her amazing offensive explosion with two more scores as the Lady Bulldogs captured their first win of the season.
