Gissel Hernandez Ibarra

DES MOINES — The Marshalltown girls soccer team dominated the offensive pace of play in a 3-0 shutout of Des Moines East on Tuesday at Duke Williams Stadium.

The Bobcats took a 2-0 lead into halftime after an early own goal by the Scarlets, followed by an unassisted goal for Gissel Hernandez Ibarra in the 16th minute. Geselle Rivera provided some insurance in the second half on a goal assisted by Irais Buenrostro in the 65th minute.

MHS had 22 shots to just six for East, with Esme Chavez making three saves toward her third shutout of the season in-between the posts.

Marshalltown returns home for the start of a six-game homestand on Thursday, taking on Des Moines Hoover.
