Pulling away in the second half, the Lockport Lightning downed the host Roy-Hart Lady Rams 6-2 in a Buffalo District Youth Soccer League girls U19 Division game Tuesday evening.

Roy-Hart trailed by a narrow 3-2 margin at the half as Maria Trombley scored a pair of goals for the Lady Rams.

However, the Lightning scored three unanswered goals in the second half to claim the win. All of those goals ironically were scored by June Roy-Hart graduates, two by Kaitlin Mettler and one by Allie Trombley.

The Lightning improve to 4-1-0 while Roy-Hart is 1-2-1.
