The wind bothered the Bayfield High School girls soccer team Wednesday at Center.
The Vikings? Not so much.
BHS snapped a two-game losing streak with a 2-0 victory.
“It was crazy conditions (Wednesday) – 33 miles per hour wind straight sideways,” BHS head coach Jen Zelinski said.
Maddy Duran and Meaghan Mooney scored for the Wolverines.
Duran blasted a long shot to the far post with the keeper off her line, and Mooney finished an Andrea Zelinski assist from close range on the end of a through ball.
“We came out with a lot of intensity,” coach Zelinski said. “We had a team meeting last week after we lost to Pagosa, and we hashed things out. We came out pumped. I can’t ask for much more than that.”
A strong defensive effort never hurts, though.
Freshman goalie Savannah Kaufmann only needed to make one save, as Center (2-4, 1-1 3A Region 5) didn’t cross the half line often.
BHS (3-2, 3-2 Region 5) next will return home to host Pine River rival Ignacio at 4 p.m. Friday at Wolverine Country Stadium.
