The American Falls High School Lady Beavers beat Minico on Saturday, Aug. 28, in Minico by a score of 8-0. Then, when American Falls hosted the Lady Spartans on Wednesday, Sept. 1, the Lady Beavers shut down Minico with a 4-0 victory.
Maria “The Freshman Firecracker” Sanchez was good for four goals on Saturday. Teammates Samantha Mancilla scored one, Zoie Laggis shot in two, and Lacey Ortiz kicked in one.
Minico played better in the game on Wednesday, according to Beavers’ head coach Liz Roberts. However, they were still helpless against Sanchez, who was good for three of the four goals scored that game.
“She’s a great addition to an already awesome team,” said Roberts.
The fourth goal of the game was a “really great goal,” Roberts said. Taylor Breding set up “a beautiful cross” to Brittney Duffin, who made a head shot goal past the Minico defense.
“It was very exciting,” said Roberts. “Most girls don’t even try for head shots. I’m really impressed with Brittney.”
The Lady Beavers next play Wednesday, Sept. 8, in Sugar Salem. Their next appearance at home is Saturday, Sept. 11, in a double-header against Filer and Buhl.
