The Socorro girls soccer team has its eye on an eighth straight district championship. And its chances look pretty good when it hosted Ruidoso on Thursday. The only way for the Warriors to lose the title is if they lose to Ruidoso 7-0. Chances are that’s not going to happen.
The Warriors already won at Ruidoso 6-0 this season and they have given up just two goals in their past seven games.
“We have had a great season and it has been a lot of fun,” Socorro coach Mitch Carrejo said. “The work ethic and the dedication of the girls have been tremendous.”
The Warriors are coming off a 4-0 victory against Hatch Valley. The offense was provided by freshman Dezare Armijo, who tallied all four goals to give her 40 for the season.
“She started as an eighth grader and she has scored the most goals ever for Socorro,” Carrrejo said. “The next girl in 3A has something like 13 goals. She is a real good athlete, really dedicated and she is a hard worker, She does not let anybody get to her and she does not miss any practice like the rest of the girls.”
The game against Ruidoso also will serve as senior day. Carrejo said eight seniors and their parents will be honored. They include Victoria Lopez, Zakilah Dennis, Jennell Higgs, Katherine Welch, Mariah Deters, Janell Lopez, Madeline Wolberg and Nicole Engler. There is no district tournament in girls soccer so assuming the Warriors get past Ruidoso, they will await the decision of the state tournament seeding committee, which meets on Sunday. Carrejo is hoping the Warriors will get a fourth seed, which means they would get a bye into the quarterfinals. Twelve teams make the tournament, which begins Nov. 5-7 at the Albuquerque Soccer Complex.
