“I thought we had some pretty outstanding play from our goalie Rachel Thompson,” Nikiski coach Mandy Adair said. “She had four or five spectacular saves that really kept us in the game.”

But Adair would have given the player of the game for Nikiski to Brianna Vollertson.

“She really stepped up big on defense and helped shut down the attack on that side,” Adair said. “She helped keep players around her calm, too.”

The coach also liked what she saw from Zykiah Cooney and Nataliyah Davis at forward.

“Never once did the girls put their heads down,” Adair said. “They kept working hard. That’s all you can ask for.”

Nikiski hosts Colony in another conference matchup today.

In the 14th minute, Bloom assisted again, this time to Drew Brown. In the 32nd minute, Max Mangue finished up the scoring on an assist from Kenneth Schneider.
