ST. GEORGE — The high school girls soccer teams of Region 9 kicked off the regular season Tuesday night, with Snow Canyon and Cedar winning on the road and Desert Hills shutting out Dixie at home. Following are brief recaps of Tuesday’s action.
Snow Canyon 9, Pine View 0
At Pine View, the Snow Canyon Warriors scored a barrage of goals early on, taking a commanding 7-0 lead by halftime. The game was stopped 10 minutes into the second half due to the “mercy rule” taking effect with a lead of eight goals or more.
Snow Canyon senior Millie Warner scored a hat trick and now has 10 goals in five games so far this season. Teammate Lilly Wittwer, also a senior, added two goals while four other Warrior players each scored once.
The Warriors next face Desert Hills at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Snow Canyon, while the Panthers travel to Cedar City to face the Cedar Reds on Thursday at 4 p.m.
Cedar 2, Hurricane 1
At Hurricane, the Cedar Reds battled the Tigers to a 1-1 tie in the first half, with Cedar’s Kelsi Orton and Hurricane’s Lena Revee each netting a goal. In the second half, Cedar freshman Maddie Marriott found the back of the net for what proved to be the game-winner.
The Reds next play at home against Pine View on Thursday at 4 p.m., while Hurricane plays at Crimson Cliffs at 7:30 p.m.
Desert Hills 3, Dixie 0
At Desert Hills, senior Ellie Hendrix scored two goals and fellow senior Maya Dalley added another as the Thunder shut out the Dixie Flyers.
A trio of sophomores — Emery Simister, Kamri Yergensen and Peyton O’Brien — each recorded an assist for the Thunder, and sophomore goalkeeper Tess Peterson picked up the shutout.
