It was senior night in Adel, and fittingly, a senior stole the show.

On the strength of four more goals from Derek Gushiken, the ADM boys soccer team overcame a sluggish first half to demolish the Ballard Bombers, 4-1, and win their sixth straight Thursday night .

The four-year varsity starter now has 16 goals on the season, surpassing the 14 goals he scored through his first three seasons combined. His remarkable play helped ADM move to 3-0 in Raccoon River Conference play.

Gushiken got the Tigers (8-2) on the board 15 minutes into the first half on the first assist of the year by Zach Flora, which proved to be the only scoring of the first h alf.

ADM head coach Bill Shields said ADM played a poor first half, but was able to turn things around in the second half by playing with better pacing and ball movement.

Gushiken added his second goal 12 minutes into the second half, then scored three minutes later on a long assist from Matthew Oberreuter. After Ballard scored on a penalty-kick in the 62nd minute, Gushiken completed his four-goal night with a score on an assist from Daniel Finnegan.

The Tigers get a week off before playing host to Newton next Thursday night.
