WORLAND – Both Rock Springs and Green River braved the weather and headed to Worland to compete in the Pinnacle Cup. The teams both had a strong Friday winning two games.

On Friday, pool play games were played in two, 30-minute halves. Rock Springs opened in Group C which included Pinedale, Rawlins and Worland. For the Tigers , they opened with a 1-0 win over Pinedale and tied the host team Worland 1-1 in the second. They put it all together in the third game as the blasted Rawlins 5-0.

The Tigers finished tied with Worland and the only thing the Tigers lost on Friday was the coin toss to break the tie. They open Saturday play in the Silver Bracket.

Hector Quezada scored the game winning and only goal against Pinedale on a corner kick from Kade Moeller. It was Moeller who scored the only goal in the tie against Worland.

Against Rawlins, the offensive flood gates were open. The Tigers had goals from Isaias Duran, Balldie Rodriguez, Willy Quezada, Fernando Hernandez and Kenyon Comstock. The Tigers have struggled finding goals to open the year. Head Coach Sean Grube spoke about this.

“In the Rawlins game the players finally got hungry to find the back of the net,” Grube said. “It was nice to see five different players score. It shows the potential we have to create offense from different parts of the field.”

The Wolves opened in Pool D with Douglas and Star Valley. Green River went 2-0 on Friday to earn a spot in Gold Bracket play on Saturday. The Wolves beat both Douglas and Star Valley by the same score of 3-1.
