The Los Alamos High School Topper girls and boys soccer teams brave cold, rain, snow and transportation difficulties to play their quarterfinal games Saturday against the Albuquerque Academy chargers on Richard Harper Memorial Field. The weather was not cooperating and as the games began it became clear the Chargers were the stronger teams, and they won both games 2-0. The girls posed for a photo before the game began.
