Kaylee Hunter’s early two goals paced AFC Toronto to a 6-0 win over the host Calgary Wild FC in the Northern Super League on Saturday.
Hunter struck in the 21st and 33rd minutes for her brace for Toronto (7-4-3), which earned a third straight win and ranked third in the Canadian women’s pro soccer league behind leader Ottawa and Montreal.
Sarah Rollins, Colby Barnett, Lauren Rowe and Kaila Novack also scored for Toronto at McMahon Stadium.
Hunter’s goals were her sixth and seventh this season. She and teammate Rowe, with her seventh, trailed only Montreal’s Elyce Bennett and Ottawa’s Delaney Pridham at eight apiece in the race for the Golden Boot scoring award.
The winless Wild (0-12-2) were without head coach Leah Blayney, who was on a leave of absence because of what the team said was a personal family matter.
Kory Babington, who joined the team’s coaching staff last week, served as head coach in her absence.
