Kenny also had eight draw controls and junior Hayley Heinecken recovered seven ground balls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BriefText\">AHS, which entered the CHSAANow.com poll at No. 10 in the state this week, moves to 4-0 on the season. The Skiers have now outscored their four opponents by a 72-10 margin. Prior to Tuesday\u2019s game, AHS had been ranked No. 2 in the all-important RPI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BriefText\">Next, Aspen will host Golden at 1 p.m. Saturday on Iselin Field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BriefText HeadLarge\">Aspen High girls soccer beats Vail Mountain in return from spring break<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BriefText\">The Aspen High School girls soccer team returned from spring break by beating Vail Mountain 4-2 on Tuesday in Vail.

Tuesday\u2019s game wasn\u2019t a league contest, but Saturday\u2019s will be. AHS is 1-0 in league play after a 2-0 win over Delta prior to the break.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BriefText HeadLarge\">Coal Ridge soccer plays to draw with Grand Junction Central<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BriefText\">Two own goals by the Coal Ridge High School girls soccer team and some stellar play in net by Grand Junction Central goalkeeper Nikki Madaris led to a 3-3 tie between the Titans and Warriors Tuesday afternoon at \u201cThe Pasture\u201d in New Castle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BriefText\">Grand Junction Central jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first half as Madaris took a free kick for the Warriors from 40 yards out and beat Coal Ridge goalkeeper Annie Esgar before the Warriors made it 2-0 on an own goal by the Titans after a cross into the box was accidentally knocked into the net by a Titan defender.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BriefText\">Coal Ridge battled back before the end of the first half as Maren Hough fired home a shot from 25 yards out with just over 10 minutes to go in the first half, making it a 2-1 game at the break.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BriefText\">Coming out of the half, Coal Ridge made it 2-2 as Hough scored again, but a rare mistake by the Titans on a goal kick led to a 3-2 lead for the Warriors that stood until stoppage time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BriefText\">The Titans (2-2-1) host the Basalt Longhorns on Thursday for a league matchup at 4 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BriefText\">Also Tuesday, the Glenwood Springs girls soccer team rolled to a 4-0 league win over Eagle Valley.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014Josh Carney, Glenwood Springs Post Independent\ufeff<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size STND-STND BriefText\">Roaring Fork baseball beats Meeker in offensive affair<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BriefText\">Playing its first game at Ron Patch Memorial Field in the first game back from spring break, the Roaring Fork High School baseball team outlasted Meeker, 17-13, in an offensive explosion Tuesday in Carbondale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BriefText\">Senior Dawson Kuhl pushed the Rams over the top with a three-run home run to dead center field in the bottom of the sixth inning, giving the Rams the win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BriefText\">\u201cWe were only up one run at that point,\u201d said Marty Madsen, Roaring Fork\u2019s coach. \u201cWe hit the ball all day, but we were locked in a slugfest. We didn\u2019t have much of a lull offensively, but Dawson got a pitch to hit and told me later he was just trying to go back up the middle. He put a good swing on it and it carried well. It was a well-hit ball; a no-doubter. He\u2019s been working on his approach this year because he\u2019s usually swinging too hard and trying to do too much at the plate, but he was patient today and put that approach to good use today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BriefText\">Prior to Kuhl\u2019s three-run homer, the Rams put on an offensive show in the second inning, putting up 11 runs to take an 11-1 lead over the Cowboys. Sophomore Graham Pietsch kicked off the inning with a lead-off walk before freshman David Good drove in Pietsch after a wild pitch, making it a 1-1 game. Senior Layne Crisp then drove in Good with a single two batters later for the first of his four RBIs on the day, before Kuhl drove home Crisp with a double, making it 3-1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BriefText\">Junior Frankie Harrington then drove in Kuhl with a single to make it 4-1. A few batters later Pietsch drove in a run with a single, sophomore Finn Leahy added an RBI single, and junior Eli Nickamin added an RBI single to cap off the scoring in the breakout inning for the Rams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BriefText\">Meeker came right back in the top of the third inning, putting together five straight hits to open the inning before tallying 10 total runs in the frame to take a 12-11 lead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BriefText\">The Rams roared back later as Crisp hit a two-run single and another RBI single on the after, leading to Kuhl\u2019s homer, capping off the win. Crisp had arguably the best day offensively for the Rams, going 3-for-4 with three singles, four runs batted in, a walk and a stolen base.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BriefText\">Roaring Fork (1-3) returns to action next Tuesday, April 9, against Paonia at Ron Patch Memorial Field.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014Josh Carney, Glenwood Springs Post Independent<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:acolbert@aspentimes.com\">acolbert@aspentimes.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/sports\/sports-briefs-april-2-aspen-girls-soccer-girls-lacrosse-both-win\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roaring Fork baseball hosts Meeker on Tuesday in Carbondale.Chelsea Self \/ Post Independent Roaring Fork senior Dawson Kuhl fires a pitch to the plate Tuesday at Ron Patch Memorial Field in Carbondale against the Meeker Cowboys.Chelsea Self \/ Post Independent Show CaptionsHide Captions Aspen girls lacrosse rolls over Battle Mountain to continue early dominance The [&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":[49],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2442475","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-local-news"},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-16 03:30:22","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":"KSPN The Valley&#039;s Quality Rock","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2442475","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2442475"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2442475\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2442475"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2442475"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2442475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
