Division I power Heidelberg, playing a Division III team just three days after blanking Hanau of Division IV, remained unbeaten without giving up a goal in its first three games with a 7-0 courtesy-rule victory over Würzburg.

Marvin Sibley, who scored once in Wednesday’s 4-0 victory at Hanau, tallied twice Saturday in a game which reached the courtesy-rule margin in the first half.

Kevin Beerman, Nate Joyner, Blake Langford, Kyle Turner and Mario Villegas completed the official scoring with one goal each.

Heidelberg was equally dominant defensively. Neither goalkeeper, Zach Harrington nor James Key, was called upon to make a save.

Next up for the Lions, who shut out D-II Patch to start the season, is a home game Saturday against D-I Kaiserslautern. The Lions then close out the regular season with Region III games against Mannheim, Black Forest Academy and Wiesbaden, all Division II teams.

In other boys games of note:

Ankara 4, Incirlik 1: On Saturday at Incirlik, the Trojans got a goal from Lucca Santini for the third straight game to complete a three-day sweep.

Zach Angel broke Incirlik’s scoring drought in the 29th minute of Saturday’s game.
