Some of the state's best soccer is being played in Clemmons.

West Forsyth continues to own one of North Carolina's longest winning streaks after flipping 2-1 win over R.J. Reynolds from three weeks ago into a 6-1 victory on senior night.

The Titans dominated the final 20 minutes of each half to improve to 15-2-1 overall.

On a night that honored the program's Class of 2024, there may not have been a more deserving player to break the ice with a goal.

Gretchen Grider connected on a ball from 30 yards out that continued to soar over the Demon defense, and upper left into the cage for her first of the season.

The home sideline erupted, and rode the 19th minute momentum into another quick tally. Hannah Hanes got her head on a 24th minute Reese Williams corner to push the Titans ahead 2-0.

Aislynn Maguire netted the team's third goal in ten minutes when she put a ball on frame that deflected in for a 3-0 advantage that would hold through the half.

Reynolds got on the board halfway into the second half. Alice Neelon took advantage of open space ahead of her, and finished off her first of the season to cut it to 3-1.

The Titans answered back quickly to put the game out of reach.

Abby Reutinger danced with defense, and booted a laser top shelf with eight minutes left to inflate the score to 4-1. Two minutes later, Maguire scored her second of the night and 30th of the season.

Hanes struck a 79th minute free kick that trickled in to close out the 6-1 victory.

West Forsyth will wrap up league play on Wednesday against East Forsyth. Reynolds plays host to Reagan.
