Caldera Wolfpack Girls Soccer 2-6 Bend

Bend handed Caldera a 6-2 defeat in Intermountain Conference (5A) girls soccer Tuesday evening in Bend, Oregon, sending the Condors to 1-3 overall and 0-1 in league play. Playing on the road against a familiar crosstown rival, Caldera found itself chasing the game early as Bend built a commanding lead that the Condors were unable to overcome. The four-goal margin reflects a difficult night for Caldera, which struggled to generate consistent pressure against a Bend side that converted opportunities throughout the match. Caldera did find the net twice, showing some offensive spark, but defensive breakdowns proved costly over the full 80 minutes. The loss opens conference play on a tough note for Caldera, which will need to tighten up at the back and build on those two goals as league competition intensifies. The Condors will look to regroup and earn their first conference win when they return to the pitch later this week.
