From STAFF REPORTS<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The Maranatha girls soccer team headed into Olympic League play having lost three consecutive games and four of their last five.<\/p>\n

But the Minutemen broke out Tuesday night in their league opener by dominating visiting Whittier Christian throughout.<\/p>\n

Maranatha cruised by the Heralds, 5-0, and have an early spot atop the league standings with Cerritos Valley Christian.<\/p>\n

Kin Spencer’s goal 9 minutes into the game set the tone and the Minutemen were able to close as impressively as they began Tuesday’s game.<\/p>\n

Spencer also scored the Minutemen’s second goal to give Maranatha a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n

Emily Rajewski then scored in the 34th minute, Lexi Philips in the 61st minute and Katy Coats closed out the deal with a goal in the 71st.<\/p>\n

Natalie Malijian shut out the Heralds in goal for Maranatha.<\/p>\n

Maranatha will travel to Heritage Christian next Tuesday at 2:30.<\/p>\n

Olympic League Standings:<\/strong>
\nValley Christian (9-3-3, 1-0)
\nMaranatha (3-9-0, 1-0)
\nHeritage Christian (3-5-2, 1-1-0)
\nWhittier Christian (2-11-1, 0-1)
