The Pagosa Springs High School Lady Pirate soccer team will return to action this weekend after a two-week spring break hiatus.
The Lady Pirates’ season resumes this Saturday, April 5, as the team hosts its first Intermountain League (IML) game of the year against the Montezuma-Cortez Panthers at 11 a.m. at Golden Peaks Stadium.
Action will continue for the Lady Pirates on Tuesday, April 8, as the team heads to Del Norte to take on the Del Norte Tigers at 4 p.m.
Coach Trevor Gian explained the team is “trying to get back in the swing of things” after spring break.
He explained the Lady Pirates are focusing on “situational training” in practice and looking how to develop more of a “tactical approach,” along with preparing to play in some nasty weather this weekend with the forecast predicting cold, wet and windy conditions.
Gian also spoke about the importance of IML matchups, noting that the results of those games will heavily influence the Lady Pirates’ chances of making it into the playoffs.
He explained the team is focusing on being more aggressive in its attacking play and planning on “really trying to go after ‘em” to create more scoring opportunities.
