CWC Lady Rustlers End Their Season on a High Note

CWC Lady Rustlers End Their Season on a High Note

Scraping and clawing for a Region IX playoff spot, the Lady Rustler soccer team needed to win both of their games on Friday and Saturday for a shot at making it into the top six of conference standings. Frustrations from Friday's match against LCCC boiled over after the Lady Rustlers had 15 shots on goal, but somehow only found the back of the net once. A multitude of offsides calls negated almost four different scoring opportunities for CWC as well. The lone Central Wyoming goal was Rakiya King's, banging the ball into the lower right corner after a dime of a pass from Kristen Moss on a breakaway. An unrelenting arsenal of goals from Laramie County CC put the final score at 1-5, dashing any hopes of post-season play.

Saturday afternoon's final match of the season for the Lady Rustler soccer team honored the team's six sophomores. Galvanized by Friday's loss, the CWC women were dead set on sending their graduating teammates out with a win. The match saw our CWC women set an all-time school record for shots and shots on goal, racking up 42 shots and 31 shots on goal in the 90 minutes of play. An outstanding performance by the Western Nebraska goalkeeper kept the score down to only two goals. Rakiya King struck gold first, who was led on a run to the net off of a perfect pass from Willow Aullman. At the 21st minute mark in the first half, the conference's second place leader in assists, Sienna Bodily, added another one to her stats, hooking up Kristen Moss with a perfect pass. Moss put the Lady Rustlers up 2-1, and Central Wyoming was able to hold out and secure a win in their final regular season game.
