Par for the course: Once the Durango High School girls soccer team got back to “our style of soccer,” the Demons got a win.

The Demons beat Southwestern League rival Montezuma-Cortez 2-0 on Tuesday in Cortez.

“We started off slow in the first half, and then we came into the second … we actually took our time,” DHS head coach Dalon Parker said.

Bella Bernazzani and Lauren Morsi scored both second-half goals for the win.

“We started with what I guess we’d call poking and prodding,” Parker said.

Once the Demons started to find the gaps and channels in the Panthers’ scrunched-up defense, “We were able to find the last piece of the puzzle and finish,” the Demons’ first-year head coach said.

Parker said all that’s left for the Demons (8-3-1, 5-2-1 SWL) to do is fine-tune the various parts of their defense and attack as they finish up their playoff push.

Durango will host Palisade at 5 p.m. Friday at the Riverview Sports Complex.
