The Ignacio High School girls soccer team lost 5-0 at Ridgway 5-0 on Friday, but IHS head coach Oscar Cosio said the Bobcats are making some strides when it comes to soccer theory.

“Communication is a huge improvement in the last few games, just communicating on the field, playing with their heads up and seeing the fields,” Cosio said.

Ridgway took advantage of its nearly full-FIFA-size field to spread out and get some runs at the goal, Cosio said.

“They play probably the biggest field, I think, any team plays on in our league. … Our girls were like ‘Whoa, that’s big,’” Cosio said.

Cheyenne Kirk did the same at midfield wing for the Bobcats, getting some “great runs and a couple of shots at goal.”

The IHS girls will return home for their final three games, starting first with Center at 4 p.m. Friday in Ignacio.
