The Battle Mountain girls soccer team opened league play with a 3-1 win over Glenwood Springs on Wednesday in Edwards.
After a scoreless first half, the Demons got on the board first midway through the second half. Battle Mountain junior Thea Armistead tied things up with a nice finish into the left corner. The Huskies’ attack continued to press, gaining confidence with senior Elle Keenan’s go-ahead goal. With two minutes remaining, Viri Herrera put a spectacular right-footer into the back of the net to seal the deal.
“It was great to see our attacking chemistry build through the course of the game and eventually see it pay off with three quality goals,” coach Lauren Lux said. “Those last 15 minutes really set the stage for the next phase of our season.”
Battle Mountain improved to 2-1-1 on the year and heads to Summit on Saturday.
