BROOMFIELD >> Prospect Ridge Academy seniors Madison Skinner and Sierra Bennett, known for their blazing speed on the pitch, among other things, turned a scoreless opening half into a comfortable win in a blink Thursday afternoon.

Skinner got things going first, scoring twice in the span of 38 seconds before drawing a foul in the box to set up another in the 51st. Bennett finished with a header over the outstretched arms of the goalie in the 57th. And like that, the Class 3A No. 1 Miners solved their latest test of the spring season — scrappy No. 6 Peak to Peak — beating the Pumas, 4-1, to move to 9-0.

First-year coach Jeff Vigil’s team can now become the first team in the state to reach 10-0 when it travels to face No. 25 Holy Family on Saturday morning.

“Kids are kids no matter where you go,” said Vigil, who built up strong boys and girls soccer programs at Erie High School before moving on to PRA. “It’s just a matter of, do you get a group that’s going to buy-in to what you want them to do and to buy-in to each other. And they’ve done that from the first day.”

Skinner and Bennett love the system Vigil has implemented. It suits their styles, especially their downhill speed. “I see it as ‘shove it down their throats,’” Skinner said of an attacking offensive scheme.Thursday, an April scorcher, Skinner found an opening in the middle of the box just 1 minute and 20 seconds after halftime, solving Peak to Peak goalie Vandy Wang, who’d been a brick wall through the first 40 minutes.

And it’s never a good idea for opponents to let Skinner get going, because when she does — in the six games she’s scored in this season, she has multiple goals in five — it can feel like a tumbleweed trying to stop a moving train.

Skinner’s second goal came just moments after her first. What looked to be an acrobatic slide kick to give the Miners a 2-0 lead, she called a “toe-poke” while falling.

Eh. Either way.

In the 51st, she had a good look at the hat trick but was taken down from behind in the box. Kayah Robbins swished a perfect PK instead.

“If we’re all together making the runs, it’s all going to work out,” said Skinner, whose 12 goals this spring has her inside the top 10 for most in 3A.

The Pumas (6-2) have had a strong start to the season themselves, with quality wins over 2A No. 3 Frontier Academy and 4A No. 25 Centaurus. And to their credit on Thursday, they didn’t let up.

In the 52nd, less than a minute after PRA made it 3-0, junior Lisann Ehrhardt drew a foul in the box and freshman Sadie Corbett cut into the deficit on her penalty. Peak to Peak’s offense has scored more goals in eight games this spring (25) than it did in the entirety of 2024 (20) when it finished 4-9-1.

PRA ultimately was just too much. Bennett, a collaborator beforehand, then finished herself. In the 57th, the DePaul commit ran down a 50-some-yard free kick from Robbins and got a head on it before she collided with GK Wang. It was Bennett’s eighth goal of the year.

The win means PRA is just one of five teams left in the state with a perfect record. The others in 3A are No. 2 Delta and No. 5 Alamosa, neither of whom the Miners will face in the regular season.

With a tough schedule remaining, including games against longtime soccer powers Kent Denver, Colorado Academy and Jefferson Academy ahead — like their pedal-down offense, the Miners are determined not to ease up.

“Our coach holds us to a high standard and keeps pushing us,” Bennett said. “Even if we win, like in the games leading up to this, he tells us, ‘I just care if you play good.’ It’s just preparing us for every game. Just keep getting better.”
