Playing their first game of the season, the Hazen Highlanders girls soccer team traveled to Coeur d’Alene to face 2-0 Lake City High School, but the trip did not go as hoped, with Hazen on the losing end of a 4-0 score.

In their first two games the Timberwolves out scored their 9-0 and 6-0.

“They’re very good. They dictated the pace of the game in the first half,” said Hazen Coach Ken Matthews in an email

In the second half, Hazen was able to get its passing game going a little more.

“Some of our player combinations were a pleasant surprise. All and all – the game gave us the competitive level we needed,” said a  pleased Matthews. “It was a great test and we’ll get better because of this game.”

Hazen travels to Liberty on Tuesday, Sept. 9, and then to Auburn Mountainview on Thursday.
