A lop-sided 21-1 win for the Roaring Fork girls lacrosse team at home in Carbondale against Summit County Thursday improved the Rams to 2-0 on the young season ahead of a pair of crucial games in the 4A Mountain East league.

The Roaring Fork team, which combines players from Roaring Fork, Glenwood Springs and Basalt high schools, scored early and often against the visiting Tigers, taking a double digit lead at the half and never letting up.

Senior captain Riley Dolan scored five goals on the afternoon. Senior Samantha Ferry and sophomore Sophie Hodgson had four goals each, and sophomore Addie Nolan contributed three goals to the winning effort.



The Rams face Steamboat Springs at home on Saturday (11 a.m. game time) and travel to play defending league champion Aspen at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.
