Santa Fe High 8. Abq. Bosque School 0
What happened: The Demons' "Sharing is Caring" plan is working. Six players were involved in their eight goals as they downed the Lady Bobcats at Santa Fe High. Santa Fe High now has tallied 55 goals through seven matches — which is 16 more than the team had in 20 matches in 2019. "We work hard at moving the ball around and creating those opportunities, instead of forcing it," Demons head coach Justin Najaka said. "We've gotten significantly and noticeably better at it over the past couple of weeks."
Top players: If anyone embodies the Demons' style of play, it's Allison Segura-Maze. The senior midfielder had a hat trick and a pair of assists as Najaka said she has a knack for being in the right place at the right time. Jazzi Gonzalez also had a hat trick and Lily Earnest had a goal and a pair of assists.
What's next: Santa Fe High (7-0) has one more nondistrict match before hitting District 5-5A play, and it will take on Aztec on Saturday at home.
