Local Sports:Carlson puts up fight; Monroe baseball keeps rolling
GIBRALTAR – Gibraltar Carlson’s girls soccer team was facing a huge challenge Wednesday.
The Marauders hosted a Trenton team ranked No. 8 in the state for Division 2 and undefeated in the Downriver League.
They responded to that challenge but unfortunately could not find a way to put the ball in the net and fell 2-0.
Trenton netted both of its goals in the first half.
“We knew we had our work cut out for us,” Carlson coach Steve Briggs said. “I told them to hold nothing back. In the second half, we showed a lot of grit. My girls didn’t give up.”
Christine Piatt-Bakos, Rachael Poli, and Maya Genzel controlled the midfield, Izzy Sgro and Kylie Iwasko were strong on defense, and Katie Frommann was outstanding in net.
“Katie Frommann stood on her head a couple of times,” Briggs said.
Carlson fell to 6-6-4 overall and 6-3-1 in the Downriver League.
