King followed up that victory with another 12-0 result over Milwaukee Audubon/Hamilton on Wednesday, led by six goals from Acosta, three from Carrillo and two from Perkins. Ciepluch was also credited with eight assists and added a goal of her own. Then, on Friday, Ciepulch led scorers with four goals and two assists in a 10-0 win over Milwaukee Pulaski/Carmen South/Juneau. Acosta had a hat trick with an assist, and Carrillo added two goals to round out scoring leaders. Through four games, King has outscored opponents 47-0.
