The Colfax-Mingo girls soccer team opened a busy week with a decisive 6-2 triumph over Williamsburg on May 18, a result that underscored the squad’s attacking firepower.
A Tale of Two Halves
A four-goal burst after the break turned a close contest into a comfortable win, pushing the team’s momentum forward.
Meadow Lane’s five goals that night not only propelled the team to victory but also set a new personal best for the varsity season, placing her among the top scorers in Class 1A and the broader Iowa landscape.
Bianca Lane’s three assists added a playmaking dimension, bringing her season total to 12 and cementing her role as the team’s primary distributor.
Two days later the team traveled to Gilbert, where a 4-0 defeat left the scoreboard blank on the Colfax-Mingo side, though goalkeeper Emmalyn Buchman made 15 saves to keep the margin respectable.
A subsequent 9-0 loss to Johnston further tested the squad’s resolve, with Lydia Lou and Kiley Russell each completing hat tricks, while Kiley’s nine goals on the season highlighted the opposition’s depth.
Despite the two setbacks, the team’s early-season record reflects a blend of high-scoring outbursts and defensive challenges, a narrative that will shape upcoming match preparations.
