The Ballard High School girls soccer team lost two matches in the past three days during the early nonconference season to drop its record to 0-3-1.

After a scoreless first half, Roosevelt High School took a 1-0 lead five minutes into the second on Monique Van Zuylen's goal. Ballard sophomore Midge Cryan evened things up seven minutes later. But, Roosevelt's Tessa Vollrath took over, scoring two goals in four minutes to put the game away.

For the most part, Ballard did not play its starters in the matchup with Roosevelt (2-1-0) because Roosevelt is a KingCo opponent, and the team did not want to give too much away during the nonconference schedule.

The Beavers fell 1-0 to Holy Names High School Sept. 13 on a penalty kick from Lucy Havens. Paige Loura and Natalie Gellos combined for the shutout for Holy Names (3-0-0).

Ballard will try to turn things around as it continues nonconference play at 4 p.m. Sept. 16 at Ballard High School against Nathan Hale High School.

Nathan Hale (0-2-0) had a 9-6-1 record last season while playing in Metro 3A. The Beavers tied 3-3 in their meeting with Nathan Hale last season.

Ballard will open KingCo play Sept. 21 against Eastlake.
