The Lady Warriors won their eighth straight district title in style Friday with a resounding 9-0 win against Ruidoso on senior day.
Six of the eight seniors were on the score sheet, but freshman Dezare Armijo led the offense with three goals. Seniors who were honored before the game included Victoria Lopez, Zakilah Dennis, Jennell Higgs, Katherine Welch, Mariah Deters, Janell Lopez, Madeline Wolberg and Nicole Engler, who also was named district player of the year.
The Lady Warriors finished the regular season with a 16-3 record and a perfect 4-0 district mark. Socorro was rewarded with a fifth seed for the upcoming state tournament and it will host Santa Fe Prep at 4 p.m. Friday. If the Warriors win, they will face fourth seed Hope Christian on Nov. 5 in Albuquerque in the state quarterfinals.
“I was expecting a four),” Socorro coach Mitch Carrejo said. “It does give us another game though. Otherwise, we would have a two-week layoff.”
Earning all-district honors were Armijo, Victoria Lopez, Janell Lopez, DamiAna Contreras, JenAna Lopez, Engler, Amanda Saenz, Wolberg, Mileva Gacanich, Angelina Stanzione, and Welch.
