CHEYENNE – The Laramie girls soccer team nearly scored in the second minute of Wednesday afternoon’s matchup with Cheyenne Central. Sophomore Shaylee Lucero got behind the Indians’ defense and slipped a shot past goalkeeper Elise Newton, who was coming out to challenge. Central’s Kimberly Klaassen was able to hustle back and keep the ball from going into the net. That was a precursor of things to come for the Plainsmen during a 6-1 victory over Central at Riske Field.

CHEYENNE — Wednesday night’s match started inauspiciously for Cheyenne Central, but it ended with a flourish.

CHEYENNE — Cheyenne Central spent much the first half of Tuesday night’s matchup with Cheyenne South being stifled and frustrated. The Bison weren’t playing an entirely defensive posture, but were committing extra defenders in the penalty area any time Central got into the attacking third. Central changed course during the second half on its way to a 3-0 win. “We played a little bit slow and a little bit behind and the shots were just railing off the (goalkeeper),” Indians coach Dirk Dijkstal said.
