Portales girls soccer team falls in OT

MORIARITY — After splitting its regular-season games with Moriarity, the Portales’ girls soccer team was ready for a battle when the ninth-seeded Lady Rams visited the eighth-seeded Lady Pintos.

And a battle it was, going scoreless through regulation before Moriarty scored in overtime to post a 1-0 victory and eliminate Portales from district tournament play.

Despite the loss, it was a solid season for the Lady Rams, who finished 9-11 and reached the postseason for the first time since 2014.

They will graduate 12 seniors from this year’s playoff team.
