Charlotte Bell was central to the visitors’ attacking output, reportedly supplying two assists. Her first set up Emery Sharpnack for the opening goal before half-time, giving Pitman a platform to manage the second half.
Bell then provided again for Erin Rudley, who doubled the advantage. Two assists in the same match underline her influence in the final third and give Pitman an important creative reference point.
The report credits goalkeeper Ella Lyko with five saves in the shutout. That figure points to a Clayton side that still tested the visitors, despite failing to score.
Pitman’s ability to combine three goals with a clean sheet made the difference. Elizabeth Heintz completed the scoring after a pass from Teagan Canna, adding a third attacking contributor to the match narrative.
For Clayton, the home defeat highlights the cost of falling behind. Once Pitman established a 1-0 half-time lead, the hosts were unable to turn pressure into a response.
Pitman will now look to turn this reported result into sustained form rather than an isolated away success. The next fixture will reveal whether Bell’s creativity and Lyko’s defensive platform can carry into another demanding Tri-County Classic match.
Clayton, meanwhile, needs a reaction after conceding three times at home. A tighter opening phase and greater efficiency in front of goal will be the immediate priorities.
