Wolfpack boys handle Hellgate, 3-2; Stillwater ties Bigfork

MISSOULA - It was another tough loss for the Glacier High School girls' soccer team on Tuesday.

The Wolfpack jumped out to a 2-0 lead, but fell to Missoula Hellgate 4-3 in Western AA play.

Glacier, 0-3-1, has now lost three times this season by a total of three goals.

"We gave ourselves a lot of opportunities," Glacier coach Paul Holmgren said.

"The few times we let up, Hellgate seemed to be right there to take advantage."

Maddey Frey scored twice for Glacier, while Sydney Sharaf had an assist and a goal.

Callie Woody scored Hellgate's first two goals off corner kicks, and Nicole Wilkins the final two.

"Up front, Maddey and Sid had a pretty game," Holmgren said.

"Good looks at the goal."
