Reserve midfielder Alexa Burton helped Ripon’s girls soccer team get an important result in Trans-Valley League play Tuesday, scoring the deciding goal in the 31st minute of a 2-1 victory over Hilmar.
The Indians (2-0 TVL, 10-3-1 overall) outshot their chief rival in league 15-6, but the visiting Yellowjackets (1-1, 8-8) are always dangerous with returning All-TVL Most Valuable Offensive Player Genavieve Fontes, who scored the equalizer in the seventh minute.
“We dominated the game, but a 2-1 score is a little scary,” Ripon coach Bryce Perkins said.
Hailey Peterson opened scoring for Ripon in the sixth minute. Burton later buried the go-ahead score after receiving a cross from Ariana Daniels.
