BodyText\">Well, so much for Glenwood soccer struggling to finish in the attacking third.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Demons boys soccer team erupted for six second-half goals Tuesday night at Stubler Memorial Field, busting wide open the 4A Western Slope League matchup with the visiting Steamboat Springs Sailors to cruise to an 8-0 win, remaining unbeaten on the year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Although the score ended up lopsided late, Steamboat Springs got off the bus and nearly struck quickly as senior Daniel Lopez fired a left-footed shot just under the crossbar that Glenwood Springs senior goalkeeper Carlos Guardado punched away just over a minute into the game, keeping the league match scoreless.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">That big save early by Guardado sparked Glenwood as the Demons quickly went on the attack, thanks to some strong runs by seniors German Alvarado and Angel Bernal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Bernal answered Lopez\u2019s chance with one of his own early, running down the left wing into the box, where he fired an odd-angled shot on goal that Steamboat sophomore goalkeeper Axel Kovach stopped.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">A few minutes later, Glenwood struck first as Bernal fired a shot inside the left post from the top of the box, taking advantage of a failed clear by Steamboat. The failed clear found the foot of junior midfield Carlos Rodriguez, who then found sophomore and fellow midfielder Reid Swanson pushing up the field, who then slipped the ball to Bernal for the goal at the 26:37 mark of the first half.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI liked the way that Angel was taking guys on,\u201d Wayne Smith, Glenwood\u2019s head coach, said following the win. \u201cWe were trying to give the defense a number of different looks, so we moved guys around early, and it paid off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Holding a 1-0 lead, Glenwood upped the ante, applying a ton of pressure to Steamboat\u2019s back line in the attacking third.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">With 14:02 left in the first half, Steamboat was forced into an error in the back half again, this time on a turnover off of a pass back from a defender to Kovach that didn\u2019t quite reach the goalkeeper, allowing Glenwood senior Justin Garces to jump on the loose ball and slip a shot past Kovach for the 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Minutes later, the Demons nearly made it 3-0 in the first half as Alvarado beat a pair of defenders to get a shot off from just inside the box. Unfortunately the woodwork didn\u2019t reward the run as Alvarado\u2019s shot struck the left post and stayed out, keeping it a 2-0 game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Late in the first half, Kovach stood tall for the Sailors, stopping point-blank shots from Alvarado, keeping his teammates in the game as the two league foes went into the half with Glenwood in front 2-0.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">That\u2019s when things took a dramatic turn for the Demons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Coming out of the half, Glenwood\u2019s attack found its footing for good, pouring it on against the Sailors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Alvarado tried to beat Kovach early in the second half, but the sophomore goalkeeper was up to the task again, stopping the Glenwood senior in close.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">A couple of minutes later though, it was Bernal that made it 3-0. Swanson assisted again on Bernal\u2019s goal, this time one-touching a pass to the senior forward for the goal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Moments later, Garces made it 4-0, taking a cross into the box off the right wing from Alvarado before firing a shot off of Kovach\u2019s hand and into the top of the net.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Then it was Swanson\u2019s turn to get in on the act, beating Kovach with a perfectly placed shot inside the left post after taking a cross into the box from junior Will Grosscup, making it 5-0 Glenwood with 14:02 left in the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Just under a minute later Alvarado made it 6-0, jumping on a misplay by Steamboat to sting a shot into the back of the net with 13:08 left in the game, making it a 6-0 margin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cEverybody wants to score,\u201d Smith said. \u201cWe weren\u2019t trying to run it up by any means, but it was good to see guys finish today. We\u2019ve struggled to do that, but today it was good to see us move guys around and finish chances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Two minutes later Alvarado had his second of the game, heading home a cross from Swanson that made it 7-0, before Bernal put the finishing touches on the win with a shot from just inside the box that beat Kovach, giving the Demons the much-needed 8-0 win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Sitting at 8-0-2, Glenwood Springs travels to Summit Thursday for a league matchup with the Tigers. Steamboat Springs (1-8, 1-7) hosts Palisade Saturday morning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cSummit\u2019s going to be a good test for us,\u201d Smith said. \u201cThey\u2019ve played some good Front Range teams and did well, and with it being a league game it\u2019s going to be tough. It\u2019s nice for us to go up there with some confidence after tonight because we know we can defend and we can possess at a high level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/sports\/bernals-hat-trick-leads-glenwood-over-steamboat-8-0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Glenwood Springs senior Justin Garces pushes the ball up the field during Tuesday&#8217;s home game against Steamboat Springs as Sailors senior Kevin Kaster defends.Josh Carney \/ Post Independent Glenwood Springs senior Angel Bernal tries to get around Steamboat Springs junior Devon John as Glenwood sophomore Reid Swanson looks on in the first half Tuesday at [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[160],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1315195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-local-news"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-09-06 21:20:56","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KSKE Ski Country","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1315195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1315195"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1315195\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1315207,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1315195\/revisions\/1315207"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1315195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1315195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1315195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
