The Stuttgart Panthers beat the Ramstein Royals 4-1 on Saturday, recording a rare lopsided win in the girls soccer rivalry that is arguably the most competitive and evenly-matched conflict in DODEA-Europe sports.

Alexa Smith scored a pair of goals and Lexi Mclellan scored a goal and assisted on another to lead the high-powered Panthers. Marissa Encarnacion also scored for Stuttgart, while Leayssa Murray produced Ramstein’s only goal in the first half.

The Royals and reigning champion Panthers have dominated Division I for years, facing off annually in hard-fought title games before meeting in the semifinals last spring. The teams, along with 2016 runner-up Naples, entered the season as favorites to compete for another title this season.
