Hayden girls soccer opened its Class 4A-1A postseason bid with a bang Tuesday at Hayden, with the Wildcats rolling to an 8-0 regional win over Circle in a game that ended at halftime due to the eight-goal spread.
"Not to take anything away from (Circle), but they gave us the opportunity for everybody to play a little bit and I thought we performed OK,'' Hayden coach Klaus Kreutzer said.

Junior Carsyn Broxterman led the way for Hayden, the No. 6 West seed, with four goals while junior Reese Huscher registered a three-goal hat trick and freshman Hailey Schmidtlein also scored for the Wildcats.
Juniors Kadence Watts and Lauren Borjon combined for the shutout in goal for the 10-7-0 Wildcats, who won their third straight game, all by shutout while outscoring their foes 17-0.
Hayden will travel to McPherson on Thursday for a 6 p.m. regional final against the No. 3-seeded Bullpups (11-5-0), who received a first-round bye.
"It will be a long ride to McPherson, but we're glad to have (a win) in the books,'' Kreutzer said. "They're a very good program and I enjoy going down there and playing good teams so I'm looking forward to it.''
