CODY- The Lady Warriors lost to Northwest quadrant rival Cody Tuesday night 6-2.
"Cody outhustled us today, they were very disciplined on defense and offense and kept punishing us on our mistakes. They played a great game and deserved the win," said coach Danielle Warren.
The Lady Fillies jumped on the Lady Warriors by taking a 2-1 lead into halftime and out of the break scored another goal to make it 3-1. A goal by junior Hannah Ozmon in the 61st minute gave Worland a boost as they looked to get back into the match. But on senior night for Cody the Lady Fillies quickly shut the door on any comeback attempt from Worland as they scored the matches next three goals.
Worland's other goal was scored by sophomore Casey Wassum.
With one more match left in the regular season coach Warren said her team needs to pick themselves up and move forward, "We need to shake it off, there were a lot of reasons why we lost, we need to learn from that and move forward," said coach Warren.
The loss puts Worland and Cody into a tie for first place and with the conference records tied the next tiebreaker will be common non-divisional opponents.
