RICHLAND CENTER — The Platteville/Lancaster girls soccer team clinched the outright Southwest Wisconsin Conference title with a 6–0 shutout at winless Richland Center last Tuesday afternoon.

The Hillmen (9–5–2, 9–0–1 SWC) made quick work of the Hornets (0–13–1, 0–9–1 SWC), scoring five times in the five 31 minutes.

Lancaster junior Lydia Murphy scored in the 22nd minute and assisted on three other first-half goals. Platteville freshman Tina Muzina and sophomore Sierra Hooper each scored twice in the rout. Alexis Thompson found the back of the next in the 12th minute to begin the scoring.

The Hillmen closed out the conference season with a 2–0 shutout of host Prairie du Chien on Thursday.

Murphy and sophomore Courtney Budden scored the Platteville/Lancaster goals in the victory.

The Hillmen dropped a 6–0 non-conference decision at Mount Horeb Friday afternoon to close out the regular season.

Coach Brandon Pink’s squad earned the nine seed in its WIAA Division 3 half sectional and will travel to No. 8 Monroe for a regional semifinal matchup on Thursday.
