The Wolverines stayed undefeated by accomplishing the rare feat of beating the Lynx twice before the postseason.
Updated: 30 seconds agoBefore the South Anchorage High girls soccer team stepped onto the field for its second match of the season against longtime rival and perennial powerhouse program Dimond on Tuesday night, Wolverines head coach Lauren Lux wrote a mantra on the whiteboard in the locker room that her players took to heart.
Prior to last season, no team had beaten Dimond twice in the same season since South in spring of 2015 but that all changed with the Wolverines prevented the Lynx from winning their fourth straight state championship in last year’s finals. The last time the Wolverines scored four goals against Dimond, they still came up short because the Lynx managed to score one more than they did in a 5-4 loss during the 2021 season.“It’s a big deal and I don’t think Dimond has ever really been swept before,” junior goalkeeper Skylar Lind said. “It’s a big confidence booster for us and it feels good for me to only have three goals against them all season.
Penalty kick aside, Lind saw the most action she has in over a month and was outstanding in front of the net for the Wolverines. She made several impressive saves throughout the game including one early in the second half where she extended her entire body to give herself enough length to prevent a shot from sneaking over her head and into the back of the net.
