The Fruitport girls soccer team had to figure out a way to score against a packed-in Godwin Heights defense.
When that happened, Myla Parker stole the show.
Parker scored Fruitport’s first three goals, propelling the Trojans to a 5-0 road victory over Godwin Heights on Wednesday in their O-K Silver conference opener, and first game back from spring break.
The Trojans are now 3-2 overall and 1-0 in conference play.
Fruitport found itself playing an opponent that was completely focused on defense, which required some adjustments.

“It was definitely the first game back from spring break,” said Fruitport head coach Kyle Hall. “Godwin packed 10 players in a very low block and did not look to go forward. Godwin had two touches on the ball inside Fruitport’s half.
“The girls took a minute, but adjusted and responded well to figuring out how to stretch out a team and find space when an opponent packs it in their own defensive 25 yards.”
By the time it was over, the Trojans had outshot the Wolverines 25-0.
After Parker’s three goals, Regan Wilson and Riley Lawsyn also found the net for Fruitport.
McKenna Joslyn had two assists for the Trojans and Olivia Cribley-Cotto had one.
The Trojans will return to action on Saturday with a non-conference home game against Whitehall.
