MONROE - The Cheesemakers knocked off McFarland 4-1 in a non-conference girls soccer game Monday.

"We really picked the game up in the second half," O'Neill said. "Our midfield played a beautiful game, and our defense also played intelligently."
Lez'lee Foley scored in the 54th minute from deep in midfield to put McFarland (3-5-1) away for good.
The Spartans' lone goal came on a penalty kick in the 72nd minute.
Katie Coplien had nine saves in goal for the Cheesemakers, who had 19 shots on goal offensively.
