A fast start lifted Triton to a 9-5 win at Goshen Thursday.

Courtney Jennings was the offensive leader with three hits and two runs scored. Nicole Sechrist homered and drove in three, and Taytum Hargrave doubled, tripled and scored twice. Crystal Brown and Kacie Pugh added two hits apiece for the Trojans.
Hannah Woodard worked four innings to get the win in the circle, allowing just two hits and two earned runs. Jennings worked the final three innings to close out the game.
