Difference-makers: Portales, sophomore Tayler Hammack collected four saves for her second shutout of the season.

Go figure: Sievers has scored in all five of Portales’ games this season.
Coach’s comment: “We had some good attacks and our midfielders were able to win some balls in the air. Jenna helps us sometimes during the game because the defense keys on her more so that makes the team step up and be more involved in the game.” — Portales coach Traci Sievers said.

Coach’s comment: “We’re still not playing well because we’ll go on a run and then we’ll have some errors and they exploit those errors to get back in the game. It’s still early in the season, but we have to make sure to not make mistakes. I think we came together in this game because I told them if they wanted to win they had to want it. They came together and worked things out.” — said Portales coach Brian Kirchner.
