October 1, 2021, Wood River Girls Soccer took to the pitch at Minico High School for a rescheduled match due to a referee shortage. As a team and coaching staff we want to give a huge shout-out to the officials who make the time to officiate games and allow us the opportunity to compete. The Lady Wolverines played an excellent game of possession against the Lady Spartans. Coming off their loss to Canyon Ridge the girls were fired-up and motivated to raise their level of play. After several missed opportunities near the goal due to Minico's tight defense, freshman Maddie Jensen knocked in the first goal at the 30 minute mark off a well executed pass from Senior Zoe Bacca. That first goal opened up a scoring spree for the second half. Zoe Bacca scored 2 goals in the first 10 minutes. The first at the 40 minute mark off a lovely pass from Yasmin Vargas, and her second at the 43 minute mark. The Lady Wolverines maintained a high press keeping the majority of play on their offensive half resulting in several Wood River corner kicks. At the 52 minute mark Josie Gilman nodded the ball into the back of the net off a Zoe Bacca corner. In the final minutes Jasmine Santacruz ripped a powerful shot from outside the 18 that the Minico keeper was able to get in front off, but not possess. Freshman Claribele Reeves was there for the follow-up and swiftly netted the ball for the Lady Wolverines 5th and final goal of the game. The Wolverine defense run by Channing Curci, Olive Gilbert, Alex Moya and Bella Parke, combined to play a brilliantly tight game holding the Spartans to a handful of opportunities that were quickly thwarted. Freshman keeper Karley Johnston, filling in for an injured Tatum Ware, was quick off her line to send balls forward.
