A last-minute goal in regulation helped the Bayfield Wolverines hold on for a draw.
The Bayfield boys soccer team is in the midst of a resurgent season under new head coach Chris Zoltowski. After going a combined 1-28-1 the previous three seasons, the Wolverines earned a 1-1 draw Tuesday at Pagosa Springs to improve the season record to 4-5-3 overall and 2-5-2 in the Class 3A Intermountain League.
After trailing 1-0, the Wolverines got on the board with a breakaway goal by sophomore Dylan Doskocil in the 78th minute. It was his first goal of the season.
The two teams played through two scoreless 10-minute overtime periods, resulting in a tie.
Finlay Marshall, a senior, leads the Wolverines this year with 11 goals and six assists for 28 points. Tilden Berriman is second on the team with six goals and five assists, giving the junior 17 points.
The Wolverines will be back in action at 5:30 p.m. Friday at home against Crested Butte.
Volleyball
VolleyballThe winning streak kept rolling Tuesday night in Cortez.
Bayfield High School’s volleyball team (11-3, 6-0 3A Intermountain League) hasn’t lost a match in Colorado in more than a month and won its sixth in a row and its 10th game in its last 11 matches Tuesday night when it swept Montezuma-Cortez (6-12, 2-5 IML).
The Wolverines got it going early Tuesday with a 25-17 win in the first game before finishing out the second and third games by identical 25-18 scores.
The win gave Bayfield a season sweep against the Panthers. The Wolverines will play a tri-meet Saturday at Monte Vista with matches against the host and Centauri. Bayfield will play at home next Tuesday in a pivotal IML match against Alamosa. The game will be a “PINK DIGS” cancer benefit match, and fans are asked to wear their best Bayfield purple in honor of Bayfield superintendent Troy Zabel, who is battling brain cancer.
