Entering the 32-team tournament field as the 17th seed, it was all Roaring Fork against the No. 16 Wildcats of St. Mary’s. The Rams will now face the winner between top-seeded Jefferson Academy and No. 32 Regis Goff. That game is set to be played Friday night in Broomfield.

Sophomore Carley Crownhart scored the first goal from a defensive rebound in the 6-yard box, according to a game recap provided by first-year Roaring Fork coach Nicole Cruz.

Sophomore Emma Charters had two goals on the day, including the team’s second goal from outside the 18, and the fifth goal of game on a cross from Carley Crownhart to the left corner.

Junior Avery Shook had goals three and four, the first off of Charters’ corner kick and the other on a breakaway that beat the Wildcats’ keeper one-on-one. Junior Avery Smith earned the shutout in goal for Roaring Fork.
