By Greg Perkins Head Soccer Coach Anna Brubaker has her Lady Lobos off to 4-1 record in this abbreviated season. Snowflake opened their season on Sept. 17, with an impressive 2-1 home field win over perennial powerhouse Blue Ridge. Eliza Gurr scored both Lobo goals, getting one assist from Kaylee Traver and another from Taylee Craner. Katelyn Cardon turned away 16 Blue Ridge shots on goal in the win. Snowflake played host to Camp Verde on the 22nd, coming away with a 4-3 overtime win over the Cowboys. Traver scored two goals, Gurr added one to her season total, and Riley Toone scored her first goal of the season. The Ladies suffered their first loss of the season a week later with a 1-3 road loss to St. Johns. Snowflake’s only goal came from Traver off an assist by Hannah Nichols. Cardon had 14 saves in goal. Back on the road in Sedona two days later Snowflake also got back into the win column with a 5-2 win. Gurr had the hat trick scoring three goals. Traver and Nichols each added single goals. Hosting Payson this past Saturday, the Lobos pitched their first shut out of the season with a 6-0 win over the Longhorns. Gurr added two more goals to her total, Traver, Craner, Nichols and Saydie Hatch each scored once in the win. Cardon and Emberlynn Brimhall teamed up to keep Payson out of the goal with each playing a half. Snowflake now 4-1 will host Holbrook on Tuesday, then will travel to Chino Valley on Friday.
