Unassisted goals Saturday by Brittany Latham, Mercedes Prand and Melissa Enriquez carried visiting Lakenheath to a 3-1 victory over Division I rival Kaiserslautern as the Lady Lancers rebounded from their first soccer loss of the season.

Lakenheath (4-1 overall) became Ramstein’s fourth shutout victim in as many games Friday, losing 5-0 after an 11-hour bus ride from England. Michaella Herron and Jessica Osteen scored twice for unbeaten Ramstein, idle Saturday.

"Although the first 20 minutes were a bit disorganized, the Lady Royals regained their composure and played a more precise and controlled game," Ramstein coach Ricardo Buitrago wrote in an e-mail on Friday’s game. "We were able to spread the field and transition the ball well. Our control of the midfield and our stingy defense kept the Lady Lancers at bay for most of the game."

Buitrago added that Ramstein played without injured goalkeeper Emily Coard, who dislocated her elbow last week during practice. Tabitha Holowka, who played in Coard’s place, made seven saves.
