Greenwave Sports Roundup

Girls Soccer Scores 

The Churchill County Greenwave girls' soccer team dominated the Northern 3A East on the field and in the classroom this season. 

On the field, the Greenwave went 17-1 in league play, scoring 139 goals and allowing only nine. 

Karlie Simper shattered the school record with 48 goals and also had 13 assists. Yasmien Laceste followed with 17 goals and 11 assists, McKenzee Peterson scored 16, and Kortnie Simper had 14 goals and led the team in assists with 15. Payton Oceguera also had 11 assists, and both Kaylee Craig and Kylee Simper had 10. 

Oceguera led the team with recoveries or steals from the opponent with 371, and Kortnie Simper followed closely with 362, Craig with 336, Kylee Simper with 301, and Kaitlin Goings chipped in with 279. 

The team started the season without a goalkeeper, but Ambreea Snodgrass stepped up to the position after the first nonleague tournament. She finished with 67 saves and 10 shutouts. 

In addition, the Greenwave players accumulated a team grade point average of 3.7 to win the NIAA 3A state academic championship. 

The Greenwave was the No. 1 seed from the East for the North Region Tournament but lost 3-0 in the first round to North Tahoe on Oct. 28. 

“It’s a tough pill to swallow,” coach Macy Myers said. “It was a great game too, 0-0 at halftime, looked like we'd be heading for overtime, but they're tired.” 

The Greenwave suffered several injuries at the end of the season and were without three players. 

“I just hope they heal before popping into their next sport,” Myers said. 

Myers said she is proud of the team for all they accomplished this season and is sure they will get many players on the All-State 1st & 2nd teams. Those results will come out on November 4. 

Boys Soccer Claims 4^th Seed 

The Greenwave boys soccer team finished in fourth place in the Northern 3A East with a 10-6 record. By beating Lowry 2-0 on Oct. 22, they clinched the No. 4 playoff seed, eliminating Fernley. In the tournament's first round, they lost 5-0 at South Tahoe on Oct. 28. 

Volleyball Falls in First Playoff Match at Truckee 

The Greenwave Volleyball team finished tied with Lowry for third place in the Northern 3A East with a 6-4 record, but due to tiebreakers, they claimed the No. 3 seed for the regional tournament. That matched them against Truckee, which was the No. 1 seed in the Northern 3A West with an undefeated league record. 

In the first round on Oct. 28, the Greenwave put up a stiff fight, losing in three straight sets, but all by four points or less, 25-22, 26-24, 25-21. 

Fallon will host the regional semifinals this Friday and Saturday. Fernley will play Truckee at 4 p.m., and Spring Creek will face Elko at 6 p.m. The two winners will play for the championship at 1 p.m. Saturday.
