The Aspen High School girls lacrosse team had its 36-game regular-season win streak come to an end on Saturday with a 22-10 home loss to Green Mountain, which came in ranked No. 2 in Class 4A by CHSAANow.com.

No. 6 Aspen trailed 10-5 to the Rams at halftime but scored three straight goals in the first two minutes of the second half to get within 10-8. The rally ended there, however, with Green Mountain slowly building up a 15-8 lead with just over 11 minutes remaining before an AHS goal finally ending the onslaught.

Green Mountain improved to 6-1 overall, its only loss coming this past Monday against Class 5A Chatfield.

Aspen fell to 5-1 overall. It was the Skiers’ first regular-season loss since April 14, 2018, an 8-1 home loss to Pine Creek in coach Amanda Trendell’s first season. AHS won the final six games of the regular season in 2018, all 15 in 2019, all 10 in 2021 and the first five this spring. There was not a 2020 season because of the pandemic.

The loss to Green Mountain came less than 24 hours after the Skiers won 16-6 at Battle Mountain on Friday night to reach 4-0 in league play. According to MaxPreps, that win made it 50 straight regular-season league wins for AHS dating to March 19, 2015, a 16-7 road loss to Fruita Monument. Aspen then won its final five league games in 2015, all seven each year from 2016-2018, all 10 in both 2019 and 2021, and the first four this season.
