Early goals in the first minutes of the game provided momentum for Chargers.
LAKEWOOD, CO – BY Dennis Pleuss for CHSAANow.com/Jeffco Chatfield senior Connor Vernon ended his scoring drought in a big way Tuesday night at Lakewood Memorial Field.
The Chargers’ senior striker had a hat-trick in the opening half in the boys soccer non-league game at Lakewood Memorial Field. Vernon hadn’t scored for Chatfield (3-0 record) yet this season.
“A lot of credit to my teammates,” Vernon said after the Chargers’ 5-0 shutout victory over the winless Wheat Ridge Farmers. “They definitely set me up with some great through balls.”
