Girls soccer splits matches

The Mountain Home Lady Tigers came away with a split of their conference girls soccer games last week, winning one and losing one.

Mountain Home 5

Columbia 0

The Lady Tigers enjoyed a hat trick from Shalamar Enrique as they jump out to an early lead and increased it throughout the game.

Besides Enrique's three goals, Emily Moranda had a goal and an assist, Jessica Egusquiza had a goal, and Laura Lothrop and Jessica Hendershot both had assists.

Mountain Home combined for five saves from goalkeepers Savannah Lopez (2) and Char Kaufman (3).

"It was a nice win," said Mountain Home girls soccer coach Carlos Jacome. "We expected Columbia to be a little weaker, because they were here for the Jamboree, but they were pretty good. They gave us a challenge, but the girls came out pretty good. We're still working on trying to get our defense a lot stronger, but it was a good win."

Bishop Kelly 3

Mountain Home 1

The Lady Tigers battled Bishop Kelly tough in conference soccer at Eastside Park last Thursday, but came up on the short end of a 3-1 match.

Trailing 1-0 at halftime, Mountain Home did get on the scoreboard in the second half on a goal by Angelina Garcia, but the Lady Knights added two more.

Savannah Lopez had 13 saves for Mountain Home.

The loss dropped Mountain Home to 4-4 overall and 3-4 in conference play. The Lady Tigers were at Middleton on Monday, host Kuna tomorrow (Thursday), and travel to Jerome on Saturday for an 11a.m. contest.
