Hosting the Delta Panthers Friday night in Carbondale for a pivotal 3A Western Slope League showdown, the Roaring Fork Rams girls soccer team dropped a tough 7-3 decision, giving up four first-half goals and three second-half goals in the loss.
Roaring Fork jumped out to a 1-0 lead on the Panthers as junior Emily Broadhurst tared the scoring for the Rams, but Delta roared back with four goals before halftime, giving Delta 4-1 lead.
The Panthers then scored two quick goals to start the second half before Roaring Fork attempted a rally. Macey Peery and Grace Jardine found the back of the net for the Rams in the second half, but Delta put a kibosh on the comeback attempt with a goal in stoppage time, capping off the 7-3 win.
The Rams (3-4, 1-2 in 3A WSL) return to action Tuesday against the Grand Valley Cardinals in Carbondale at 4 p.m.
