For perhaps the first time in the 2025 soccer season, the Lady Bobcats found themselves in a fair fight. 

Even if that simply meant an 11-v-11 match. 

Sending out a full starting lineup Thursday night, May 1, on the road at neighboring, non-league Bayfield, Ignacio was still no match for the home side on its Senior Night and concluded the campaign falling 10-0 in an abbreviated contest called off by rule after a completed 40-minute first half. 

Beginning with her fifth-minute icebreaker – which held up as the match-winner – BHS senior Sydney Rey netted three goals and classmate Briauna Lawton-Chavez matched Rey’s hat trick with her own 36th-minute finish, increasing the Lady Wolverines’ lead to 9-0. 

Moved back in interim head coach Cody Kiss’ formation later in the match to shore up the defensive midfield and also avoid injury, Rey then curved a 38th-minute pass some 30 yards through midfield to the far side and landed it perfectly in front of fast-attacking Jessy Rey.  The sophomore cousin then netted, in stride, BHS’ tenth goal with time still remaining before intermission and both crews apparently ready for relief from the chilling wind. 

With a season finale against non-league Telluride scheduled for the next afternoon, Bayfield (0-6-0 3A Intermountain, a.k.a. Southwestern) improved at the time to 2-11-0 overall. 

Ignacio, meanwhile, ended up 0-11-0 overall and finished its incomplete 2A Intermountain-South slate – recalling multiple forfeits last year courtesy of IHS and Del Norte, THS and Crested Butte Community School chose not to face the Lady ’Cats in ’25, though CBCS’ junior varsity visited IHS Field back on March 28 – with 0-4-0 figures.  Two losses came against DNHS, and two against seemingly willing Ridgway (which, oddly, faced Del Norte only once).
