The Columbia Falls girls soccer team blanked Bigfork for its first conference victory Tuesday night. The Wildkats outshot the Valkyries 20-7 in a game where they dominated possessions.
Joyce Hatfield got the first goal of her high school career and Ellie Johnson had a goal and an assist in the win.
Last week the girls avenged last year’s state tournament loss to Laurel Sept.11, dropping the Lady Locomotives 2-0, but fell apart against Billings Central the next day, losing 7-0.
The Kats haven’t lost by that wide a margin in years.
“The old cliché, a wakeup call,” coach Greg Trenerry said. “A learning experience.”
Against Laurel, Ashley Miller score at the 13-minute mark and a minute later, Tavia Bechtel scored on a penalty kick.
Trenerry said the despite the Central lapse, the team actually had its best performance in the opening four games against eastern teams ever, going 2-1-1.
The Kats are now 3-1-1 on the season.
The girls face Libby Saturday at 2 p.m.

Deer Park looks to replace ‘67 Quonset hut
Deer Park School is hoping to replace an aging and unsafe Quonset hut and its old teacherage/office with a new 5,000 square-foot building. There’s a long list of problems with the 57-year-old Quonset hut. Years ago it used to be an inadequate gym. Now it houses the school’s music and art classrooms and the building isn’t in any better shape, just older.
