The Reeths-Puffer soccer team won its third straight game on Thursday, and senior Liam Smith wrapped up his assault on the school record book.

Smith scored yet another three-goal hat trick, leading the Rockets to a 5-1 victory over Coopersville in a non-conference matchup.

Smith, already the Rockets’ all-time career leading scorer, set a new team single-season scoring record of 32 goals.

Senior goalie Gage Hopkins stopped four of five shots to collect the win.

Reeths-Puffer, now 13-3-1 on the season, will open play in the O-K Green conference tournament next week.
