With under 20 minutes remaining in Friday’s home game against the Raiders, Cyclone Sophomore Carly Torneten came sprinting down field and with Sophomore Raider goalkeeper Denae Thayer coming out too far from the net, Torneten was able to sneak in her second goal of the night, leading the Cyclone to a 3-1 victory effectively snapping a 4-game losing streak.

AHSTW Senior Delaney Goshorn will be rowing for Kansas State University following the conclusion of her high school days.
“I’m really excited,” Goshorn said. “I never thought I’d have the opportunity to play sports at the D1 level. I fell in love with the campus and I was content with not continuing my academic career, but the opportunity arose and how couldn’t I take it?”
