There are no rainouts in soccer, and the weather wasn’t about to interfere with a Friday night setup between the defending 3A and 2A state champion Roaring Fork Rams and Crested Butte Titans in Carbondale.

After 80 minutes on the soaked Rams stadium field, it was the home team earning bragging rights in the non-league, penalty-plagued game for Roaring Fork, 1-0.

The game was scoreless until junior Foster Hayes finally found the back of the net in the second half to give the Rams the advantage. Senior goalie Diego Loya had six saves to keep the Titans off the board.

Glenwood plays Summit to 2-2 tie

In 4A soccer action on Thursday, Glenwood Springs tied Summit 2-2 in Breckenridge, as neither team could find the net through two 5-minute overtime periods.

Summit knew what to expect from their inter-league opponent, after narrowly escaping Glenwood Springs Sept. 1 with a 4-3 victory in Glenwood Springs. 

Following the series of shots from Summit, Glenwood Springs had several breakaways down the pitch, but their attempts were stopped by the Tigers defense and the score was 0-0 going into halftime.

Summit took a 1-0 lead in the second but didn’t hold it for long, as six minutes later a horde of Demons bombarded the net and bounced a ball past the Tigers’ goalie to make it 1-1 with 18 minutes remaining in the second half.

The Demons goals came from junior Christopher Portillo and sophomore Gael Mondragon. Sophomore Benny Swanson had an assist on the first goal.

Glenwood Springs sits at 2-6-2 overall and 2-3-2 in the 4A soccer league. The Demons host Grand Junction for a non-league game at 6 p.m. Tuesday before a week-long break in action.
