Reagan Brisendine scored the only goal for the Glacier Wolfpack in a 1-0 shutout of unbeaten Missoula Sentinel in Western AA girls soccer at Glacier High School on Thursday.
After Brisendine’s goal in the 6th minute, the Wolfpack protected the lead to improve to 9-3.
Sentinel has played two fewer games than Glacier and falls to 6-1-3.

Byrd singled out Ady Powell as a significant part of the Wolfpack’s victory. “She won a lot of battles for us today,” he said.
