The Lady Wolves took two losses in the first games of their soccer season, but head coach Chris Nielsen continues to work with the girls to improve the team.
The girls lost against Star Valley Friday in a game ending 2-0 and took a loss 5-0 from Evanston the next day.
Nielsen said by the end of the varsity game, his girls were very tired because the team doesn’t have a lot of subs, meaning the group played four full 80-minute soccer games in two days, with Nielsen saying the later games got rough for them.
During a single game, the girls will run anywhere between two and four miles. Playing multiple games only adds to that amount.
But, the experience will pay off later Nielsen said.
“We’re growing,” he commented.
During both games, Neilsen said the central three defenders showed good chemistry while working together. After looking at film of the two games, he said the girls need to work on stringing their passes and holding onto the ball as a team. He wants the girls to have a better understanding of how they should possess the ball.
The girls will take on Jackson Thursday and Powell Saturday at home.
