TABOR CITY — The young dynamic duo of Lacey Suggs and Natalie Hardin combined for five goals and six assists Wednesday en route to a 7-0 whitewashing of South Columbus in East Bladen’s Waccamaw Conference opener.

The Lady Eagles got on the board early when Hardin took a pass from Miller Heustess and booted in a goal from in close. Several minutes later, Suggs took a pass from Hardin and found the back of the net for a 2-0 lead.

In the blink of an eye, Hardin led Suggs with a pass and the freshman booted the ball home from close range.

East Bladen scored again shortly after when Hardin assisted on a shot by Suggs that found the net for a 4-0 lead. Before the first half ended, Hardin found Abby Ward with a pass and Ward kicked it in for a 5-0 halftime lead.

In the second half, Suggs got her hat trick with a goal off a pass from Carolina Sarmiento and, just a few minutes later, it was a Suggs pass that found Sarmiento and was turned into a goal to cap the scoring.
