Homewood gains revenge with soccer upset of Hoover

Homewood 5, Hoover 1: Homewood used revenge as motivation and a second-half explosion to pull off a girls high school soccer upset of Class 6A 10th-ranked Hoover.

"Last time we played them they beat us 3-2 so it was nice to come back home and beat them here," Homewood coach Nathan Carlson said.

Homewood got a hat trick from Katie Frierson and a pair of goals from Kirsten Robinson to pull off the victory.

"Katie is a ridiculously (talented) player and when she's out there it's a different game," Carlson said.

Both teams played an even first half with the score tied at 1-1 but Homewood dominated possession in the final 40 minutes of play as it scored four unanswered goals.

Robinson broke the tie by getting a breakaway goal that beat the goalie on the top left-hand side.
