PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. – The skies cleared up and the rain and lightning stayed away just enough for the Yavapai College women's soccer team to kick off its showcase tournament on Thursday night at Bradshaw Mountain High School. 

In the first game of the tournament, the Roughriders fell to the No. 2-ranked Pima Community College Aztecs by a score of 1-0. 

YC trailed for a majority of the contest as just five minutes in, the Aztecs cashed in on a corner kick that rebounded off of a couple of Roughriders that eventually found the foot of a Pima player who deposited it into the back of the net. 

Despite some sporadic scoring opportunities throughout the rest of the match, YC was held off the scoresheet and suffered its first loss of the season, moving to 1-1 overall.
