After spending pretty much the first half of the season on the road, the Lowry High School girls soccer team made its third appearance at home this past Friday night against Truckee.
The last time the Lady Bucks saw their home field was Sept. 14 against Incline.
Truckee entered the match second in the Northern 3A at 8-1-1 and claimed a 9-1 win over Lowry.
The Wolverines collected goals in the 6th and 7th minutes off of shots by Alondra Villa and Taya Matt. Matt’s goal came off a rebound in the Lowry box.
The Lady Bucks cut the deficit in half in the 14th minute, when Emily Backus hit the top corner of the net that got over the head of the Truckee goalie.
The goal by the sophomore ended a two-match scoreless streak for Lowry.
Truckee countered back two minutes later on a goal by Matt, her second on the day.
The Wolverines increased the offensive pressure, scoring three goals in three minutes to lead 6-1 at halftime. Villa added her second goal in the 21st minute, Lilliana Hosefros scored in the 22nd and Rylee Rust closed out the first half scoring in the 24th minute.
Truckee increased the advantage to 7-1 in the 59th minute and ended the match with goals in the 64th and 69th minute.
Lowry (0-10-0 Northern 3A) returns to its home field on Friday to face Sparks at 4 p.m. North Valleys visits Winnemucca on Saturday for a noon start time. The homestand continues on Tuesday, Oct. 15, versus Churchill County at 4 p.m.
