SIOUX FALLS – The Groton girls’ soccer team was shutout by Sioux Falls Christian 2-0 in its season-opening contest on Saturday. It was a rematch of last year’s Class A State Championship game that SFC won 1-0.

Groton, rated third in the preseason Class A poll, has a busy week ahead playing three times. The Tigers will be at Garretson on Tuesday, host Belle Fourche on Friday, and then take on St. Thomas More at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Northern State Pavilion.
