They say you can throw won-lost records out the window, and the Santa Fe High girl’s soccer team agrees.

Playing at home Saturday against non-district foe Robertson, the Demonettes owned an impressive record of 5-1-1. The Cardinals 1-5-1.

No matter, it was scoreless until Santa Fe’s Anna Wechsler scored late in the match to escape with a 1-0 triumph.

That’s why records are secondary as the Demonettes learned. Their next match is on Sept. 17 at Taos.

Santa Fe High boys also caries an impressive mark of 5-1 and plays next on  Saturday at non-district foe Santa Teresa, which is 4-3-1.

The Demons opened with a 2-0 zip over St. Michael’s, followed by the Horsemen winning the rematch, 3-2. Since those two matches, Santa Fe has won five in a row, scoring 23 goals and allowing only one as the other matches were shutouts.

St. Michael’s boys turned back non-district foeMonte del Sol, 4-1, at Alto Park. The Horsemen are 3-2-1 and the Dragons dropped their third in a row.
