Women's Soccer Secures Two Crucial Victories in Conference Soccer Matches

The Central Wyoming College Rustlers women's soccer team marked a successful journey through their regular season conference games with dominant performances against the Trinidad Trojans and Otero College Rattlers in games held on September 12 and 13, 2025, respectively.

In the first of the two back-to-back away games, the Rustlers faced off against the Trinidad Trojans at Trinidad, CO. The Rustlers established a commanding 3-0 lead by halftime and continued their dominance in the second half to finish the game with an 8-0 shutout. Reese Titland, Lacey Gunnels, Angilee Woleslagle (who scored twice), Jersee Clapier, Katelynn Kartchner, Bailey Brown, and Kenna Merritt all found the net, demonstrating the team's offensive prowess.

The following day, the Rustlers continued their campaign in La Junta, CO, against the Otero College Rattlers. The match was tightly contested, but the Rustlers managed to maintain a lead with a goal scored by Katelynn Kartchner, which stood as the game-winning strike, accumulating a final score of 1-0. The defensive efforts were equally crucial, with Alaya Malone saving critical attempts in the Trinidad match and Madilyn Shillig guarding the posts against Otero.

Throughout both games, key assists came from players including Isabella Lakey, Natasha Stenton, Bailey Brown (who provided two assists), Jenna Dewey (also with two assists), and Claire Giles, contributing significantly to the team's offensive setups. Coach Ben Nelson praised the team's recovery and enhanced performance in the second half of each game, while Jillian Nelson, wearing the captain's band, highlighted her pride in the squad's improvements and collective effort. With these wins, the Rustlers improved their season record to 3-3.
