It didn't matter whether it was at home or on the road, Laramie High School defeated Torrington on the pitch Tuesday.

Laramie Lady Plainsmen

The Laramie Lady Plainsmen (2-0) rolled past Torrington on the home turf, 11-0. LHS scored four times in the first 14 minutes. They led 8-0 by halftime.

Lady Plainsmen head coach Kim Whisenant said, "Our main objective was to finish our opportunities, but also don't get ahead of ourselves... I want to always just play our game; no matter who we're matching up against; and I thought we did a good job of that today."

Senior Savannah Cox had a pair of goals and four assists, while freshman Lexi Pulley added three goals and an assist.

Other goals came from Ariel Romero, Allison McElwee, Isla Skinner, Lindsay Myers, Kade Setright and Kolton Barber.

Pulley said to dominate an opponent we should,

"I think it gives us a lot of confidence, but we know that Gillette, Sheridan and all our conference is going to be way harder than them. We know that we have to keep going strong and not get our confidence too high."

The fourth-ranked Laramie girls begin 4A East action at #3 Sheridan and at #2 Gillette Friday and Saturday.
