Even though the Battle Mountain girls soccer team is now in the Northern 3A due to realignment, the Lady Longhorns opened the 2023 season on the road against familiar opponents.
Battle Mountain traveled to West Wendover on Friday afternoon and lost 3-1 to the Wolverines. The road trip concluded on Saturday in Ely with a 4-0 loss to White Pine.
Over the summer, the Northern 2A combined with a 3A for two divisions (East and West). Battle Mountain is in the same division with White Pine, West Wendover, Spring Creek, Elko, Lowry, Pershing County, Churchill County, Fernley and Dayton.
Battle Mountain makes its home debut on Wednesday, Sept. 6, against Fernley at 2 p.m. Battle Mountain hosts Dayton on Sept. 7, at 4:45 p.m. As a reminder, schedules are always subject to change.
