TRUCKEE, California — The Spring Creek boys soccer team was unable to build on the momentum of playing Sparks tough in the final game of their home tournament.
In their first road trip that counts toward postseason implications, the Spartans were blanked twice by Reno and Truckee.
Versus Reno
The Huskies commanded the game in the first half — opening a 2-0 lead — and added an insurance goal after the break en route to a 3-0 victory over Spring Creek on Sept. 3.
Versus Truckee
The Spartans’ weekend was dampened further with a 4-0 loss on Sept. 4, at Truckee.
As was the case against Reno, Spring Creek started slowly on both sides of the ball versus the Wolverines — who rolled to a 3-0 lead in the first half.
