STEAMBOAT SPRINGS \u2014 The game was only close at the start. It didn\u2019t take long for the Aspen High School girls lacrosse team to take full control over Steamboat Springs.<\/p>\n

It was the first game of the season for the Sailors, and only the second time this season the team had seen a full-length field.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we keep playing, our conditioning will improve,\u201d Steamboat Springs coach Amy Norris said. \u201cThis is a long field. With the practice situation earlier this season, we\u2019re still catching up and I don\u2019t think we played that bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aspen notched the opening goal in the contest. Steamboat Springs senior Riley Schott was quick to respond just a minute and a half later to make it 1-1, but that\u2019s the closest margin the Sailors would see all night as the Skiers extended a 10-4 lead at halftime to close out a 20-5 victory.<\/p>\n

This is the second game the Skiers have amassed 20 goals; they shutout Durango 20-0 on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest thing is they put in a lot of hard work in the offseason and it\u2019s really fine-tuning our fundamentals and is letting them mesh,\u201d Aspen coach Amanda Trendell said. \u201cSteamboat is very athletic and very aggressive, so the more we can have our skills clean and play pretty lacrosse, we can keep up with those people who are really athletic and really aggressive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steamboat struggled to gain possession of the ball on the opening faceoffs. Aspen senior Charlotte Howie managed to lob the ball up and catch it on her run into the attack zone to set up the offense each time. As the game progressed, the Sailors defense grew tired.<\/p>\n

Howie was one four players on the Skiers to score three goals. Senior Sabrina Turbidy, sophomore Kylie Kenny and junior Hayley Heinecken also had three goals. The top scorer for the Skiers was senior Kate Citron with five goals.<\/p>\n

Schott added three goals in the contest for the Sailors. Senior Lucy Shimek had one and junior Samantha Kennedy added another.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time we got in into the attack zone we would score,\u201d Schott said. \u201cBut the draws weren\u2019t really like our best tonight. But if we had more control on the draws, I think the score would\u2019ve been a lot different.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Skiers also posed a strong defense with advanced stick work, able to knock the ball out of Steamboat\u2019s possession. Norris believes that if the Sailors are able to refine their stick skills, they\u2019ll start winning games.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to move the ball a little faster on attack, front of the net get open and make that pass,\u201d Norris said. \u201cI\u2019m still optimistic for the season, it\u2019s the first game and a tough one to start out with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steamboat (0-1) heads to Cherokee Trail (1-1) at noon on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Aspen (2-0) will leave for California on Friday, where it will face Cate School on Saturday. The Skiers are on spring break next week.<\/p>\n
