The Dyersburg Lady Trojans picked up their second win in three nights as a pair of early goals set the tone for a rough and messy first half on the way to a 5-0 win over Dyer County in Newbern on Thursday night.

Both teams played strong on defense throughout the first 20 minutes of action before a JulieAnne Cundiff goal put the Lady Trojans on the board in the 20th minute for a 1-0 lead.

A foul against the Choctaws later in the first resulted in a yellow card and a free kick for Dyersburg later in the first half. Meredith Zamzow made the most of the opportunity, putting the free kick in with a curve amidst a crowd of black and gold and orange and white. The kick in the 32nd minute put the Lady Trojans on top 2-0 at the half.

During the first half of a physical and defensive game, there were four yellow cards handed out, with all four going to Dyer County. There were a total of six throughout the game as each team received one in the second half.


Dyersburg began to pull away in the second half as Cundiff added her second goal in the 49th minute to push the Lady Trojans' lead to 3-0.

In the 60th minute, Reese Seratt tacked on a goal to put the Lady Trojans up by four goals before a penalty kick five minutes later from Haddy Manneh accounted for the final score.

The Lady Trojans will return to action on Tuesday, Sept. 8 when Dyersburg hosts South Gibson at 6 p.m. Meanwhile, Dyer County returns to the pitch Thursday, Sept. 10 when the Lady Choctaws travel to Alamo to take on Crockett County.
