For the first time in at least nine seasons, the Ashland prep girls soccer team lost on its home turf.

Sophomore Alayna Franson scored in the 71st minute, junior Sydney Zettler added an insurance goal in the 87th and senior Brianna DeNamur made five saves for the clean sheet as Rhinelander beat the host Oredockers 2-0 in a Great Northern Conference match on April 21, Ashland's first home loss since at least 2008.

According to the archives maintained by our partners at the Wisconsin Sports Network, the Oredockers had been 49-0-1 on their home field since 2010. Their only loss in 2009 came in the WIAA Division 2 state semifinals, meaning the last time Ashland could have lost on its home field was nine seasons ago.

The Oredockers' lone draw at home since 2010 came on June 12, 2014, against Rice Lake, a 1-1 tie in a Division 3 sectional semifinal – Ashland advanced 3-0 on penalty kicks that day.
