Two area soccer teams grabbed wins on Thursday. Vail Mountain School got a goal from Winston Pillsbury off a Sebastian Uribe assist to defeat Roaring Fork 1-0 in Vail. It was the first loss of the season for the Rams, who are now ranked seventh in 3A. The Gore Rangers (6-3), the defending 2A state champions, sit fourth in the 2A state rankings as of Friday.

Vail Mountain School will continue to test itself against 3A and 4A competition, as it has throughout the season. The Gore Rangers host Summit next Tuesday before traveling to face their rivals from Crested Butte next Friday. The Titans (8-1) lost to VMS in the state semifinals last year and won the 2A state crown in 2021 and 2022.

Eagle Valley also picked up a Thursday-night win, it’s second-straight, by defeating Grand Junction Central 1-0 in Gypsum. The Devils (5-4-1) are off until next Saturday, when they travel to Montrose.
