Tigerhawks dominate Williamsburg in first-ever soccer match

WILLIAMSBURG — The Colfax-Mingo girls soccer team has played one match and one jamboree so far this season.

And the Tigerhawks outscored their opponents 7-0 in those two contests.

Colfax-Mingo opened the regular season on Monday with a 4-0 win over Williamsburg after downing the Southeast Polk junior varsity, 3-0, in the team’s first-ever home event on Saturday.

“We had all 17 girls on Monday and all 17 contributed to the win,” Colfax-Mingo head girls soccer coach Zach Tomas said. “We made a few adjustments from the scrimmage, and the team looked more put together and compete tonight.”

It was the first win in program history for the Tigerhawks, and the first varsity soccer win for Tomas.

Freshman Meadow Lane scored all four goals for the Tigerhawks against Williamsburg (0-1). Her first came with 1 second to go in the first half. She added a hat trick in the second half in her varsity debut.

“Coach Tjaden suggested we move Meadow up front in the lineup, and it resulted in multiple goals,” Tomas said. “We may only have 14 players some nights so we’ll have kids playing multiple spots.”

It was the first career start in goal for Emmalyn Buchman, who helped the Tigerhawks score the shutout.

Tomas said Lilyan Hadsall and Brooklyn Yanske also were big at the back end of the lineup and Bianca Lane stabilized the middle of the pitch. Hadsall collected an assist off a corner kick, too.

“They were huge tonight,” Tomas said. “(Hadsall) and (Yanske) were rocks on defense, and (Bianca Lane) is so good in the middle. She’s not going to lose the ball and always makes good decisions.”

Colfax-Mingo (1-0) hosted Southeast Polk’s JV for a jamboree on Saturday. The two teams played a 40-minute half and two of the three goals were scored by Meadow Lane.

She put in the first goal in the 9th minute and added a second one in the 37th minute.

The other goal was scored by Rylie Van Beek in the 32nd minute.
