Lone Peak continues dominance over T Wolves Jared Lloyd NORTH COUNTY When two girls soccer teams have similar levels of size, speed and talent, it's other things that make the difference in the game. When Lone Peak hosted Timpanogos in the Region 4 opener for both teams last Thursday afternoon, history appeared ap-peared to play a key part. , The Timberwolves have struggled to defeat the Knights in the last few years and that psychological edge helped the home team build an early lead. Timpanogos rallied but couldn't erase the deficit and Lone Peak picked up the 3-2 victory. "We're pretty evenly matched," said Knight head coach Mike LaHargoue. "I'm not sure what it is but if it is (a psychological advantage), I'll take it. They're a great team and have a great program." Lone Peak came out strong in the first half and forced the actioa It paid off in the 15th minute min-ute when the T"Wolves couldn't clear a corner kick and Knight junior midfielder Kaitlin Seeley took advantage by drilling it into the back of the net for the 1-0 lead. "That was huge for us," LaHargoue LaHa-rgoue said "We haven't played well this year when we've been behind. We tend to get passive and not be aggressive." Nine minutes later, the home team doubled its lead when junior forward Katie Lohner drove deep into Timpanogos territory, then crossed it back where senior midfielder Megan Smith was waiting to put it in. Although the visitors managed man-aged to avoid falling further behind in the first 40 minutes of play, Timherwolf head coach Natalyn Uwis was not impressed with her squad's xt-formance. xt-formance. "We came out terrible and there's no other way to describe it," she said. "I've never seen this team play so pexn ty.
