The Alamogordo Lady Tigers entered the Silver City Tournament with high hopes, opening their campaign with a 2‑1 triumph over Silver that lifted their record to 1‑1 and set the stage for a Tuesday home clash with Deming.
London Curry opened the scoring in the 50th minute, and Zoey Spataro added an insurance goal to seal the win, showcasing the team’s attacking depth and resilience.
Lightning Strikes Halt Second Match
The Tigers’ second encounter against Miyamura was abruptly halted when dangerous lightning rolled through the field, leaving the game unfinished at a 4‑0 lead for the opposition.
Safety protocols required an immediate suspension, and the tournament’s schedule now hinges on the outcome of the upcoming home fixture against Deming scheduled for Tuesday.
Coach and players emphasized that the interruption underscores the importance of weather preparedness, but they remain focused on maintaining momentum as they head into the next match.
