Carter, a midfielder, twice used breakneck quickness to overlap Chelsea defenders and deposit her first two career goals in Friday’s 3-0 win over the Red Devils.
Carter scored in the 15th and 34th minutes to stake the Raptors (2-3) to a 2-0 halftime lead, assisted on the first by Mikayla DeBois and the second via one-timer on a feed from Riley Thomson.
“She’s very active both offensively and defensively; she’s all over the place,” said Rivendell coach Tim Goodwin of Carter. “She’s fast, strong and a good worker.”
DeBois, who’d hit the crossbar several times, finally solved Red Devils keeper Kiana Johnson in the 76th minute for the clincher. Thomson assisted again.
“(DeBois) got around two defenders on the weak side and hit a really pretty shot,” Goodwin said.
