After entering halftime tied, the Green River girls found their rhythm in the second half to secure a much-needed road win. Athena Clement led the charge with one goal, and Brookelyn Phillips added another two as the Lady Wolves improved to 5-3 in 4A West play.
The win keeps Green River in the mix, near the top half of the conference standings, and heading into a pivotal matchup with Jackson this Friday.
Wolves Come Up Short in Defensive Battle
