For much of the first half, Thursday's soccer match between rivals Webb and St. Andrew's-Sewanee was nip-and-tuck as they remained scoreless for the opening 25 minutes.

Freshman Zach Wagner took assists from classmate Josh Ferrell twice in a nine-minute span to push the Feet ahead 2-0.

Needless to say, the second half was not quite as competitive as the first with Webb ringing the bell for nine scores and they ran away with an 11-0 victory in Bell Buckle.

Feet coach Adrian Anderson was pleasantly surprised by his squad's performance given that a majority of the upperclassmen on the roster had already flown off campus for spring break. Of the 13 players in uniform, two were juniors and the rest were sophomores and freshmen.

"I've got 2-3 years with team I had out there today," he said. "They played really good and played really well together.

"Passing and moving off the ball was excellent."

Wagner finished off his hat trick in the first minute following intermission off an assist from Tripp Moss. Ferrell then did some twine-thinning of his own with consecutive goals in minutes No. 52 and 54. Austin Wilson, Moss and Adam Brooks followed with goals in succession. BumJoon Jung netted two scores in a three minute time frame. Daniel Hoover finished off the onslaught in the 79th minute.

Zach "Cletus" Crownover came through with five saves in the opening half and one more thereafter to secure the shutout.

Webb (3-0-1) enters spring break on a high note but must come back to work ready for action when they hit the road to take on region rival University School of Nashville on April 1.

"We've got a lot of nagging injuries, little ankle twists and sprains and muscle pulls and that gives us time to get everybody healthy and ready to go," Anderson said.
