MIAMISBURG -- Little Miami senior Elly Goins is making her mark on the pitch early in 2026, scoring three goals across two 2-1 victories and providing the Panthers with an important offensive spark.

In Little Miami's 2-1 win at Miamisburg on Tuesday night, Goins found the back of the net twice, helping the Panthers secure a hard-fought road victory. She had preceded that performance by scoring another goal in a 2-1 victory over Sycamore on Friday night in the season opener.

Goins' three-goal stretch is showcasing her confidence, determination and ability to deliver when the Lady Panthers need it most. For a senior, it's a memorable start to the 2026 season and an exciting prelude to what looks to be another successful season for the Green and Gold.

The Miamisburg victory marked the first game of a five-game road stretch for the Lady Panthers. Little Miami will be back in action Thursday night when they travel to Blue Ash to face Ursuline Academy in a nonconference matchup.
