The No. 6 Corner Canyon girls soccer team headed into the 6A state tournament on a four-game winning streak, earning a first-round bye and then shutout Pleasant Grove 2-0 Oct. 15. Junior forwards Alice Peterson and Rachel Enslow both scoring in the win with senior midfielder Kenzie Randall and junior midfielder Olivia Gleason assisting on the goals.

In the quarterfinals Oct. 17, the Chargers battled with third-ranked Davis before falling 2-1 in double overtime. Corner Canyon was down 1-0 at the half before junior midfielder Channing Wuest equalized, assisted by junior forward Sophia Simms.

“It was really hard to see the girls’ disappointment when we lost in double overtime,” said head coach Fodé Doumbia. “But, that is the way the game goes. They played very hard until the last second. They never gave up. I’m very proud of them. I wish we were still in the title race but I am pleased with what the players accomplished.”

Corner Canyon was led this season by Peterson with nine goals and eight assists along with sophomore forward Layla Valdez with six goals. Senior keeper Hagen Haycock recorded five and a half shutouts in goal.

Randall, Haycock, defender Bella Call and defender Chaselyn Nichols – who was injured much of the year – were the team’s four seniors. “They were great all season long on and off the field,” Doumbia said. “The team will miss them.”

Also on the CCHS squad that finished 13-6 and tied for second in Region 2 this year are Clair Call, Leah Carver, Olivia Edwards, Tessa Egbert, Avalon Fenlon, Xandi Feroah, Ciara Gastelo, Kate George, Rylee Graham, Ella Iverson, Annika Johnson, Ava Kohler, Amahra Latu, Ellie Lewis, Halle Lloyd, Abby Love, Kamree McDougal, Blakely Neider, Olivia Nordhoff, Addison Paynter, Lily Pearce, Liv Rockwood, Ava Toombs and Brynn Wheeler.

“I would also thank the entire coaching staff that worked tirelessly. Kudos to [assistant coach] Kelsey Haag,” Doumbia said. “I am confident we will be title contenders next year.”
