RS Tigers Win One and Drop Two at Worland

On Saturday the Varsity team played three matches at the Worland Jamboree. The first match was against the Lander Tigers, this match was a full eighty minute match. Rock Springs came out of the gate very hesitant but later controlled most of the run of play. However Lander was able to score on there opportunities and Rock Springs could not. Lander scored in the 9th minute of the game and again in the 51st minute of the game. Rock Springs out shot the Lander Tigers 19 - 11 in the game. Bryce Kalista had 7 saves in the net for Rock Springs. Man of the Match - Gilbert Gonzalez (6 shots and 1 meg)



The second match of the day was against the defending 3A state champion Cody Broncs. This was a 40 minute game or half game. The Tigers looked poor in this game, lacking intensity, communication and as a team not keeping to their formation. The Broncs played a great game while the Tigers struggled and the Broncs came away with a 4 to 0 victory. The Broncs scored two goals in the first half, in the 10th and 13th minute. Two more goals were added in the second half in the 28th and 35th minute. Cody only out shot the Tigers 9 - 7 but made the most of the opportunities making almost 50% of their chances. After the match, the hopes of the Tigers was that this match would serve as a wake up call for the level of play the team was expected to be at. Man of the Match - Riley Yerkovich (2 start of his career, 2 fouls and intensity)


The final match of the day saw the Tigers against the Worland Warriors. Again this was a half game or 40 minute match. The Tigers jumped out on top of the Warriors quickly with a goal from Matt Lehman, assisted by Storie Ratcliff in the 4th minute. The Tigers scored again in the first half when Storie Ratcliff collected a ball that was headed from a Worland player and had a one on one with the keeper. Storie snuck it by him to put the Tigers up 2 to 0 at the half. The third and final goal of the match came in the 25th minute as Erick Mata from the left side of the field dribbled into the middle and shot a laser of a shot that beat the keeper and dove under the bar from about 20 yards out. The final score of the match Rock Springs 3 - Worland 0. This match can be seen on the Internet at http://www.rtcom.tv/ . Man of the Match - Storie Ratcliff (1 goal, 1 assist)

The Tigers played well in most aspects of the game and Tyler Hamilton recorded his first clean sheet of the season. On Saturday the Tigers were defeated by the defending state champions Kelly Walsh Trojans zero to one. The game was tied at half time and KW used the wind at their back well in the second half.
