ST. JOSEPH — St. Joseph struggled from the start in a 5-0 loss to Plainwell in Wednesday's Division 2 girls soccer district opener.

Plainwell's Kayla Baar and Laken Whittington each scored and assisted on a goal in the first eight minutes as the Trojans took control early and never let up. Baar later added two more goals to finish with a hat trick.
