April showers (and snow squalls) have brought some wins for the Roaring Fork High School ladies soccer and lacrosse teams over the last week.
Playing at Basalt on Tuesday, the Lady Rams soccer team scored a 6-1 win to improve to 4-1-1 overall on the season and 1-0-1 in the 3A Western Slope League.
Roaring Fork got three goals from junior Carley Crownhart, two from junior Emma Charters and one from junior Lexy Sanchez in the local rivalry contest.
It came on the heels of a 10-0 win over Colorado Rocky Mountain School during Saturday’s cold and occasionally snowy conditions, and a 2-0 win last Thursday over Coal Ridge at home.
Scoring against Coal Ridge were Charters and Crownhart, and in the CRMS game, Crownhart, Charters, Sanchez, juniors Annika Anslyn and Maddie Anderson, senior Mia Cubias and freshman Kennedy Arnold.
The Rams are on the road Thursday, April 11 at Moffat County, and then back home on Saturday versus Mullen. Game time is 10am.
Girls lacrosse
The Lady Rams picked up a 22-12 win over 4A Mountain East foe Summit High on the road Tuesday, improving to 3-2 overall and 1-0 in league play.
The combined Roaring Fork/Basalt/Glenwood team had nine goals from junior Josie McKinley-Kitchell, four from sophomore Jordan Miller, three from senior Grace Garcia, and two each from junior Hailey Wolfe, senior Lucianna Phillips and sophomore Juliana Pittz for the win.
The lacrosse team also picked up a 9-8 win over Steamboat Springs at home on Saturday, with goals again coming from Wolfe (four), Miller (three) and McKinley-Kitchell (two).

Hosting their annual Trent Goscha Memorial Tournament last weekend, the Rams baseball team dropped two and won one to take a 3-8 overall record into the 3A Western Slope League opener Wednesday, April 10, at home versus Olathe. The game result was not available by press time.
In tournament action, Roaring Fork fell 11-0 to Montezuma-Cortez last Thursday, April 4, and 12-6 to Grand Junction Central that Friday, before rallying in extra innings to beat Pagosa Springs 5-4 on Saturday morning.
Pagosa took an early 1-0 lead in the first inning, before the teams played five-and-a-half scoreless innings into the seventh. Pagosa garnered three more runs in the top of the seventh, but the Rams answered with four in the bottom half to tie it.
Roaring Fork then scored in the bottom half of the eighth for the walk-off win.
