The Lady Warriors continue to rack up big district soccer wins. Last week they defeated Hatch Valley 6-0 and at home against Ruidoso on Tuesday they won 6-0. Socorro coach Mitch Carrejo said that Socorro hopes to make some noise at the state tournament this year.
Socorro (16-3) hosted Santa Fe Prep at Wednesday, Oct. 14. Then they will host Hatch at 3 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 20. There are three games left until the state tournament.
“I’m expecting a pretty good game,” Socorro coach Mitch Carrejo said. “They’re big, they’re physical. They were last year and they are again this year.”
Socorro’s only losses this year have been to Class 5A Carlsbad (18-1), Bloomfield (9-6), and Bosque School (12-4), the defending 3A state champions.
“I told the girls that competitively we’re on, if we just work a little harder,” Carrejo said. “If we get to state we have a shot at it this year. It’s not just a two- or three-team race this year. They have to include us in there. We have the potential to play with these teams this year that we haven’t had in the last couple of years.”
Katy Welch, a three-year starting defender for the Lady Warriors, has been out with an injury for a couple of weeks. She played a bit yesterday against Ruidoso but she wasn’t 100 percent. Carrejo said that he wanted to work her in slowly, save her a little bit and see if he could get her healthy for state.
“Everybody is contributing,” Carrejo said. “Yesterday against Ruidoso … four of our girls scored. We’re trying to get more girls involved in scoring. We’ve been relying on Desiree Armijo.”
Armijo has scored 36 goals this year and is the leading scorer in the state. Against Ruidoso, Armijo and Jenell Lopez each scored two goals. Victoria Lopez and Angelina Stanzione each score one goal.
