Butte Defeats Visiting Lady Cougars

Lassen suffered a 4-0 defeat on the road against Butte on Friday. The Lady Cougars, despite persistent effort could not keep up with the skill level of their Golden Valley Conference foes.

After the Lady Roadrunners mounted an early attack, resulting in a goal, the Cougars retired to low-pressure group defense. This tactic helped maintain the score until the last minutes of the first half when another goal was scored due to a defensive mix up.

During the second half, the Lady Cougars suffered two additional goals as a result of excessive pressure on the defense by their Butte opponents.

"This was a devastating loss for us," said Head Coach Jude Niba. "Butte has a favorable record against us and is in good standing on the league table"
