Snow Canyon won one and tied one this weekend as the preseason soccer action heated up around the state. Defending region champ Dixie dropped a 1-0 road game at Lehi, while defending state champ Cedar lost a tough 3-2 decision at Wasatch.

soccerThe Lady Warriors played late into the night Friday night after lightning delayed the start of their match with Providence Hall. But the weather delay didn’t slow down a barrage of goals by the home team as Snow Canyon pulled away with a 5-0 decision.

Five different Warriors scored for SC, including Brooklyn Bell, Jenny Stewart, Mackenzee Brough, Jade Mooring and Mishayla Fausett. Mada Mooring and Valeria Escobar teamed up for the shutout in goal. Four of the five SC goals were before halftime.

Saturday morning, SC hosted 4A Mountain View in an evenly matched contest with the two teams coming away tied at 1-1. Jenny Stewart assisted on the lone goal, a net-finder by sophomore Jacie Mooring. Mada Mooring had three saves in goal and held the Bruins scoreless in the second half.

Snow Canyon, 1-0-1, next plays Thursday night at home vs. Syracuse.

Dixie traveled to Utah County and dropped a 1-0 decision to the Lehi Pioneers. The only goal came late in the game by Lehi’s Reagan Shepherd. Ally Black got the shutout. The Lady Flyers are now 1-1 and play again next Friday at Stansbury.

Cedar, now 1-1, was outscored by Wasatch 3-2 Saturday. The Lady Reds were tied with the Wasps at 1-1 at intermission. But Wasatch’s two second-half goals gave the Wasps the decision. Cedar got one goal each from Holly Carpenter and Nicole Jenkins. The Reds next action is Tuesday at Spanish Fork.
