Soccer Game Preview: Basalt vs. Telluride

The Basalt Longhorns will head out to take on the Telluride Miners at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.

Basalt is looking to pick up the season's first win, something they couldn't quite do against Crested Butte on Friday. The two teams finished up on equal footing with a 1-1 draw.

Basalt's goal came courtesy of Brianna Ramirez, which was the first she's scored this season.

Meanwhile, Telluride fell victim to Aspen and their airtight defense on Friday. They took a 2-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Skiers.

Basalt skirted past Telluride 1-0 when the teams last played back in March of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for Basalt since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
