Jordan Beers scored twice and Haley Downin stopped 15 shots as visiting Franklin earned a 3-0 Tri-Valley League girls soccer victory over Edmeston on Thursday.
Beers started the scoring a little less than four minutes into the second half and made it 2-0 about 11 minutes later. Jessica Terrano set up Beers' second goal with a cross.
Lily Stalter capped the scoring with 10 minutes to play for the Purple Devils (1-1, 1-1), who won despite getting outshot, 20-11.
"I'm not surprised," said Edmeston coach Melanie Mumbulo, whose 2-1-1 team didn't allow a goal this season until Thursday. "There will be some good teams (in the T-V) this year because everybody has some good players. Nobody's really above anybody right now. If you come and play well, you're probably going to win."
Edmeston hosts Milford on Tuesday.

Schenevus 4, Franklin 0
Brina Herr scored three of Schenevus' four second-half goals as the defending Tri-Valley League and Section Four Class D champions won a first-round game in the Stamford Mayor's Cup on Tuesday night.
Sierra Bentley opened the scoring 17:34 into the second half, converting a rebound after a re-start. Franklin goalie Haley Downin suffered a shin injury on the play and was sidelined for the rest of the game.
"That was definitely a game-changer for Franklin," Schenevus coach Stephanie Banks said. "(Downin) was coming out and Sierra was going in and they hit each other."
Herr scored less than a minute after back-up goalie Natalie Downin took over. About three minutes later, Herr converted a corner kick from Maura Harrington to make it 3-0.
Catherine Hernandez stopped nine shots for the Dragons, whose season-opening victory also counts in the Tri-Valley standings.
