Surrendering nine goals during the first half Saturday, April 1, Ignacio Girls’ Soccer resumed competition, post-Spring Break, falling 10-nil to league powerhouse Crested Butte Community School. 

With a once-scheduled 3/28 tune-up at IHS Field versus 3A Pagosa Springs scrubbed, and the clash with the Lady Titans relocated from Gunnison County to neutral, less-wintry Del Norte, the Lady Bobcats couldn’t keep pace with last season’s Class 2A State Runner-up – which entered the match ranked No. 7 in the week-starting CHSAANow.com Class 2A poll, one spot ahead of Intermountain-South League rival Telluride. 

Senior India Nornes led CBCS with three goals, and freshman Brie Polster scored two and assisted on another. Junior Leigh Harpel, senior Morgan Feltus, junior Nicola Roberts, senior Dahlila Hickey and freshman Molly Miller each netted one goal as Crested Butte, defeated 1-0 on the 28th at 3A Salida, improved to 2-0 in league and 4-4 overall. 

Ignacio slipped to 0-2 in league, 0-3 overall. 

Looking ahead at the schedule, IHS will travel to 3A Bayfield on Tuesday, April 11, for a 4 p.m. kickoff. Results from the Lady Bobcats’ scheduled 4/4 match at 3A Montezuma-Cortez – a fixture once set for March 16, then postponed to the 20th before again being re-listed – were unavailable at press time.
